The Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar weapon system(also called C-RAM) is used as a response to indirect fire attacks on a base. It is a set of systems used to detect and/or destroy incoming rockets, artillery, and mortar rounds in the air before they hit their ground targets.

The 20mm Land-Based Phalanx Weapon System is a land-based variant of the U.S. Navy's Phalanx CIWS weapon system, a radar-controlled rapid-fire for close-in protection of vessels.

Both use a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera to allow their operators to visually identify incoming fire.

The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.
