C-RAM/CIWS Compilation

Here’s an FAQ and videos with details about how these things work. -5:01-6:12 the boat is estimated to be about 2 miles / 3300 meters -6:15 a base is attacked and multiple C-RAMs engage, as they detect incoming fire they can also pinpoint the general location of the enemy fire. As the video continues, the C-RAMs begin to get overwhelmed by the incoming fire and we can see the shots spraying wildly trying to get as many incoming shots as they can. As the C-RAMs generate data on the incoming fire and pinpoint locations of the enemy, a fire mission is called in response to the enemy. The camera men are most likely one of the people that are given the fire mission to take out the enemy, the cameraman can be heard yelling “Get some H.E. (High. Explosive. rounds) now!“ - These are used to shoot incoming mortars/rockets and stuff - Russia has a system similar called the kashtan, inspired by the US system. - These turrets are a last resort, there are many other defenses to shoot stuff
