Close in Weapons System (CIWS) is a fully autonomous missile defense system. CIWS can only protect the ship it is mounted on. As it is unable to fire on other ships, it counts as civilian component

Usage

CIWS don't require any setup or orders to defend the ship, and are thus well suited to be mounted on non-combat ships like tankers/ colliers/ supply ships/ jump ships/ constructors that do not warrant a full defensive armament. For combat ships usually a manual setup is preferable. Each CIWS includes space for its own sensor and fire control. As a proper layered PD defense setup requires missile detection sensors, turreted Gauss Cannons with their own Beam Fire Controls require less space, and can also protect other ships in the fleet.
