C-RAM is a system used by the army to intercept and destroy incoming rockets, artillery and mortar rounds in the air before they hit their targets on the ground.
The system integrates existing field artillery and air defence sensors, a commercial-off-the-shelf warning system and an interceptor to fight indirect fire threats.
In addition, C-RAM provides counterattacks and response options including tracking and capturing enemy forces.
