Pantsir-M[2] (Russian:Панцирь-М,lit. 'Carapace-M') is a Russianjamming-resistant navalclose-in weapon system (CIWS) which entered service in 2018.[3] Pantsir-M will replaceKashtan-M systems inRussian Navy.[4][5][6][7]
According toRostec CEOSergey Chemezov, Pantsir-M's destructive power is three to four times higher than Kashtan-M's.
Pantsir-M is equipped withfriend or foe identification system and armed with naval version of the Pantsir's 57E6 missiles andHermes-K missiles. Its secondary armament are two six-barreled 30×165mm GSh-6-30K/AO-18KDrotary cannons (range 5 km),[8] same as on Kashtan-M. Pantsir-M is fully automated and can engage up to four targets simultaneously at a range of up to 20 km and can operate as a battery of up to four modules. Pantsir-M can interceptsea skimming missiles flying as low as two meters above the surface. If a target isn't sufficiently destroyed by Pantsir's missile attack it can automatically direct its cannons against it. Pantsir-M'sphased array radar, electro-optical/infrared targeting and identification system are based on that of Pantsir's 1RS2-1.
