We are looking at an actual self targeting defensive sentry-gun I thought they only existed in video games.

Phalanx has been in operation for 30 years.

These things are only designed to target missiles and other projectiles. Small, fast-moving stuff coming right at the ship. It's not quite the same as a sentry gun that identifies and fires on enemy soldiers and only enemy soldiers.

Sort of. Later blocks of Phalanx have a surface-enagement mode so they can target things like speedboats. Phalanx is virtually useless against threats like the supersonic ASMs in the above gif because the range is so short that it's only going to get one shot off while the missile passes through the engagement range, and even if it does hit now you have a broken and burning missile body still flying at your ship at supersonic speeds and you're pretty hosed anyway. Goalkeeper is marginally more useful because of its longer range but it's more accurate to say that those missiles were designed to deal with the defense those guns are capable of. They don't even put Phalanx on new ships, the last-ditch close-range anti-missile defense now is RAM, a navalized Sidewinder missile.

RAM isn't actually related to the Sidewinder.

Ever wonder how a 3 or 4-way light switch works?


For a 3-way switch, just eliminate that center switch.

The cool thing is that because of the logic, you can add as many 4-way switches in the middle as you want, and it'll still function the same way. You can have an 87-way circuit without any crazy business (except the obvious crazy business of having 87 switches controlling the same circuit.) <3 XOR

It's heavily based on it, I was simplifying a bit for a one-paragraph post in the gif thread. From that wiki link:

quote:

Also known as RIM-116A in US service, the original version called Block 0 whose design is based on that of the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile, from which it took its rocket motor, fuze, and warhead.
