Modern warships are designed to be stealth, with radars appearing as small as a speedboat on enemy screens. But these ships still need ways to fend off missile and drone attacks. The Ancilia launcher solves this problem by releasing a variety of decoy payloads.
These include next-generation anti-aircraft shells that mimic a ship’s radar signature, flares, distracting heat-seeking missiles, and even corner reflectors that blind incoming radars with strong reflections.
Unlike traditional fixed launchers, Ancilia can rotate on two axes and thus target threats without having to turn the ship.
Details of Ancilia’s operation remain secret.
