C-RAM: a dangerous competitor of the Russian "Pantsirya" from the USA
88
C-RAM "Centurion" is a ground version of the famous American naval anti-aircraft complex Mark 15 Phalanx CIWS. The complex is a kind of analogue of the Russian ZRPK "Armor" and is designed to protect quartered army units, military bases, as well as places of deployment of air defense systems and missile defense systems of a large radius of action from air attack weapons.
The six-barrel 20-mm gun M61А1 has two modes of shooting: 4000 and 6000 rounds per minute. However, for a ground modification of the complex, its rate of fire was reduced to 2000 shots / min. At the same time, C-RAM "Centurion" is equipped with high-explosive fragmentation projectiles for greater damage efficiency.
C-RAM "Centurion" is fully automated. The radar complex captures targets, and the computer calculates the most dangerous of them, after which it “leads” them until the moment of destruction.
