The U.S. Navy Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ship USS BONHOMME RICHARD (LHD 6) performs a pre-action aim calibration on an MK-15 Phalanx Close-In Weapons Systems on Nov. 27, 2006. The basis of the system is a 20 mm M61 Vulcan gattling gun linked to a radar system for acquiring and tracking targets. The gun fires at a variable 4,500 rounds per minute (hydraulic models only fired 3,000 rounds per minute): it is mounted in a self-contained turret along with an automated fire control system. The system automatically searches, detects, tracks, engages and confirms kills using its computer-controlled radar system.
