Rheinmetall MASS_DUERAS new naval countermeasure system unveiled at Euronaval 2012
 
Rheinmetall presents for the first time at Euronaval 2012 its new naval countermeasure MAAS_DUERAS,an enhanced optional version of MASS. In the realm of active protection, Rheinmetall supplies high-performance “soft kill” solutions for ground vehicles, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and ships. Smoke/obscurant protection systems like ROSY render vehicles invisible to the enemy if attacked, while Rheinmetall’s Multi Ammunition Softkill System (MASS) naval countermeasures system now sets the standard worldwide.

Rheinmetall’s MASS naval countermeasure system protects ships from attacks with modern, sensor-guided anti-ship missiles on the high seas and littoral zones as well as from asymmetric, terrorist-type threats by firing decoy rounds which diverts incoming missiles from their intended target.

It is connected to the ship's sensors and protects ships from attacks by advanced, sensor-guided missiles, by launching decoys, that operate in all relevant wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum (ultra violet, electro-optical, laser, infrared and radar). MASS can be either plugged into the command and control module of a naval vessel, or operate autonomously.

The Group now offers an enhanced optional version of MASS. The MASS_DUERAS is a piggyback solution. It features launching tubes for distraction rockets mounted on top of the MASS launcher. Anti-torpedo distraction rockets will also be available soon.
