C-RAM/Anti-Drone Sensor Solutions
C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar) as the military acronym suggests, is a system that is designed to detect and eliminate incoming rocket, artillery, and mortar attacks to protect an area or zone from these types of attacks. C-RAM was first formally deployed in an active combat zone in 2010 in Iraq to protect the green zone and American embassy and bases in the region. C-RAM systems vary from vendor to vendor in cost, range and performance but are generally comprised of the same subsystems which are a targeting grade 3D or 4D radar for early warning and detection of targets, electro-optics imaging such as visible, SWIR, thermal and LRF for fine projectile targeting and tracking, and a high calibre high-capacity machine gun like a 20mm or 30mm equipped with tungsten, explosive incendiary or air bursts rounds.
