You'll note it uses the Mk38 RWS mount.

Notice the system pictured in the article uses the Millennium Gun System turret/mount. The Rheinmetall laser is not actually mentioned as a "naval weapon" but given that the Millennium Gun is, it demonstrates a possible configuration that could be navalised.

Feel free to add other systems to the thread guys!

I know that Northrop Grumman has produced atleast one test ''Laser weapon'' called ''Laser Demonstration (MLD)'' and tested it with sucses.

The Nautilus system you refer to, was a part of Israel's search for defending the southern part of the country against rockets fired from Gaza. Most of these rockets were short ranged and home made affairs with a range of up to 4km or 5 km. The system chosen by Israel was the Iron Dome, which uses small intercept missiles. This system was tried in combat a few months back achieving a success rate of around 75% to 83%.

Never thought the Nautilus and the Iron Dome where somehow connected.
I always thought it was some next-gen AA system that could replace the Phalanx or land based systems like the Patriot.
And let me correct you abit on the Iron Dome. I was part of its first test deployment about a year ago in the northern part of Israel. And it was like you said 75%-83% success rate.
We tested it agains captured Grad rockets and dummy rockets that resemble the home made "Kassam" rockets.
Today after a few upgrades and alot of combat experiance there are two full functional battarys operating in the south, with almost perfect success rate.
And a third battery in construction.

What happened to the program to equip Phalanxs with lasers? Did that just lose its funding or is it still going on?
