This, Beyond What You Think! The Harpoon anti-ship missile has been a stalwart in naval arsenals for decades, renowned for its range and effectiveness.

CIWS systems, like the Phalanx or Goalkeeper, are designed to provide close-range defense against incoming threats, such as missiles or aircraft. While CIWS excel at short-range engagements, the Harpoon anti-ship missile offers an extended reach, with a range exceeding 100 nautical miles. This capability allows naval forces to strike targets from a safe distance, reducing the risk to their own vessels. CIWS systems have limits in terms of the number of targets they can engage simultaneously and ammunition supply.
