Defense against UAV's
Ken Chaddock wrote: Block 1B CIWS has an infrared and optical tracker that would do nicely against any UAV within it's range...the question is finding the UAV in the first place. An Infrared search system with the ability to designate to a B1B Phalanx would work quite well I think... But a prop-driven UAV with a small engine and some attention to exhaust masking would not be an easy IR target. If all you want to do is locate and identify a ship, and beam an illuminating laser at it to guide the incoming ordnance, then the UAV can be very small and very hard to detect.
