C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar)

C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar) is a system designed to detect, track, and intercept incoming projectiles like rockets, artillery shells, and mortars before they hit their target. Using radar and advanced sensors, it identifies threats early and then automatically fires countermeasures—such as interceptor guns—to destroy or divert the projectiles in mid-air. Essentially, C-RAM acts as a protective shield around military bases or strategic locations, reducing the danger from enemy attacks by neutralizing projectiles at a safe distance before they cause damage or casualties.
