Rheinmetall Delivers 300th MASS Naval Countermeasures System

Rheinmetall recently celebrated a special anniversary in the field of maritime protection systems. The experts from Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH’s Fronau branch in Germany delivered the 300th MASS Multi Ammunition Softkill System. The anniversary customer was the Finnish Navy. Launched onto the market in 2002, MASS is now in service with no fewer than 14 user nations.
 
Rheinmetall’s Multi Ammunition Softkill System (MASS) family of ship protection systems is suitable for use by blue, green and brown water navies. It protects ships and boats against a wide range of threats, on the high seas as well as in coastal waters or on rivers. 
 
The fully automated MASS decoy system offers a unique degree of protection against modern, sensor-guided missiles, covering all relevant wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. It can be installed on any type of vessel and can be integrated into an existing combat management system (CMS) or operate as a standalone system. Ordinarily, MASS consists of between one and six trainable launchers. Each launcher can fire 32 Omni Trap special effect charges and comes with a control unit and a data interface.
