The MK 15 CIWS is primarily used to defend against what threat?

Anti-Ship Missiles Anti-Air Warfare Anti-Submarine Warfare Electronic Warfare

Correct Answer:

Anti-Ship Missiles

Explanation:

The MK 15 CIWS is a close-in, last-ditch defense system designed to shoot down threats that are already very close to the ship, with a primary focus on stopping incoming anti-ship missiles in the terminal phase. It uses a radar-guided 20mm Gatling gun to create a rapid, lethal wall of fire at short range, aiming to prevent missiles from hitting the vessel. While it can engage aircraft and other small threats, its main purpose is neutralizing anti-ship missiles, which is why that choice is the best fit.
