Protection systems – Sea
High-effective active and passive protection solutions
Increasingly sophisticated, modern guided missiles pose a clear and present threat to civilian shipping and naval vessels. Rheinmetall offers a wide range of high-effective active and passive protection solutions from decoy systems to ballistic and mine protection.
MASS nova – Multi Ammunition Softkill System
The next generation of the proven ship protection system MASS
Modern Naval Protection, Redefined
The new MASS nova (Multi Ammunition Softkill System) heralds a new era in maritime self-protection. Designed from the ground up, it combines state-of-the-art technology with over 25 years of experience in defending against current and future threats. The result is a system that sets new standards in effectiveness, adaptability and ease of use.
Future-proof meets experience
The new MASS nova has been specially developed to meet the complex challenges of modern threats. These include littoral and hypersonic threats and advanced 5th generation guided missiles with SAR technology. An additional degree of freedom in the system design allows even more flexible responses to changing scenarios.
3DDS – 3D Decoy Swarm Munition
The future of deception
As the latest effector component of MASS nova, 3DDS impresses with a completely new type of threat defence. This fire-and-forget ammunition is based on swarm technology and reproduces realistic ship signatures in the target area – autonomously, effectively and without course or speed adjustments.
MASS nova & 3DDS – State-of-the-art countermeasures for a new threat environment.
Developed for today's requirements – ready for tomorrow's challenges.
MASS – Multi Ammunition Softkill System
Multispectral protection for vessels
The Multi Ammunition Softkill System (MASS) protects ships and boats from multifaceted threats from anti-ship guided missiles and laser-guided weapons – on the high seas, in littoral waters and on rivers. Offering unique protection against modern sensor-guided missiles in all relevant wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, MASS can be installed on vessels of all sizes and readily integrated into existing shipboard command and weapon engagement systems or operate as a standalone system. In the standard version, MASS consists of up to six trainable launchers, each of which can fire up to 32 Omni Trap decoy munitions.Developed especially for vessels without organic shipboard reconnaissance systems, Rheinmetall’s MASS_ISS with Integrated Sensor Suite is a standalone system with an integrated sensor suite, capable of detecting both radar and laser threats. The portfolio also includes the MASS_OCR with off-board corner reflector and MASS-ATD with anti-torpedo decoy capability. The MASS_DUERAS version chosen by the Royal Canadian Navy is a piggyback solution. It features additional launching tubes for distraction rockets mounted on top of the MASS launcher.
Rheinmetall continues to perfect its tried-and-tested MASS family, assuring that in future, too, ships and their crews will have the best possible protection when operating on the high seas and in coastal waters.

Multispectral protection for small vessels
By rapidly obscuring the line of sight, the ROSY 40 mm countermeasure system protects vessels from littoral and riverine threats such as small arms fire, RPGs and missiles. ROSY is optimized for small vessels of the world’s navies, coast guards and special forces, and is particularly suitable for patrol vessels, speed boats and attack craft. The system features absolutely spontaneous and dynamic screening capabilities.Rosy_N – Rapid Obscuring System
