MASS (decoy system)

MASS (Multi Ammunition Softkill System) is a naval self-defence system, produced by Rheinmetall. 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).

The system is used by the navies of Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden and United Arab Emirates.
