Advanced tank armor on a ship? Interesting concept. What is the armor like?

Goalkeeper Close-In Weapon System:
GOALKEEPER is the most effective close-in-weapon system available today. Its superior search radar leaves no target undetected. Its highly accurate I- and K-band tracking radar gives pinpoint precision. Its high-performance 30 mm gun leaves no room for doubt about the outcome of any engagement. GOALKEEPER has been tested by a joint team of the United States Navy, the UK Royal Navy and the Royal Netherlands Navy against live anti-ship missiles. These live firing trials demonstrated GOALKEEPER's extremely effective performance to the full reassurance of the customers that already operate GOALKEEPER; not a single missile was able to penetrate GOALKEEPER's defence.

AFFS Storefronts to my knowledge are the sole suppliers of this system...
Cost: 1.5 million per System
