@@auburn8833 ok true definition of C-ram is a bit awkward, because US names there Phalanx system C-RAM, while its better to call it Phalanx and Mantis who are C-Ram systems,... Because when we talk about C-RAM everybody thinks of the Phalanx system. my bad.
@@Spaced1sco no worries, the 2 main differences between Phalanx and Mantis is that Phalanx uses traditionial munitions at extreme firerates to guarantee a hit that way, while mantis relies on much more complex munitions
I just watched the MANTIS video right before this and lots of footage from that video is in this one. It's the same principle I guess, just not mobile and only has one Barrell with a much larger bullet.
When i was in Iraq in 07, They had these systems on the major FOB's (forward operating bases) we didn't know call it was called the C-RAM, We called it the "CIWS" which quickly evolved into "Cheezwiz" And when the alarms went off and it fired we'd yell "GET CRAZY WITH THE CHEEZWIZ" which is a line from the song "Loser" by Beck.
Yeah I was about to say I saw these in Baghdad in 08, ta hell is this guy talking about their first time in use was on 2010 protecting the embassy in the green zone? 2:57
Another fun fact is the tracking radar housed inside the system itself is so good it tracks the individual rounds being spat out and corrects the angle of fire to get the rounds on target.
I got back from Iraq like a month ago, we got attacked a couple of times and got to see these in action, honestly one of the most beautiful and terrifying things to look up and see red beams shooting up into the air with that Klaxon wail filling up the night sky; then you remember what ever they are shooting at could possibly come down on you
I was there in 06-07 we didn't have these I was in Mosul we used to get Mortered and rocketed daily we lost a soldier to Morter fire in Alpha company they would blow up our chus and everything I almost got hit one time on an airfield barely made it to the Bunker we were dug in and we had to sit there and take it for 15 long months every day and night getting blasted to hell

Funny thing is, no one’s gonna do anything about it, ever. They takes millions of minutes of content from hard working people and nobody cares. Yet when someone adds 7 seconds of music, the whole ass channel gets taken down.
That can't be true that it was field tested in 2010 because when I was in the British forces operating in Iraq back in 2008 that weapon system was mounted around the base. It defended the base at least once a week from mostly RPG attacks and it had a hit rate of about 75%
@Assembled Existence Yeah, I know the project and no it doesn't work in heavy clouds only thin ones/mist and heat waves etc. The "L" for laser stands for light. It doesn't go through opaque objects. No way around that. The only laser that currently "goes through clouds" are experimental ones for communications that get so hot they bore a hole in the clouds. Again, thin clouds. Forget using this type of weapon in tropical places with a CB nearby.

Those other ones u are seeing are different, the one with the angles, that sorta look like a tank turret it fires slower but fires a bigger round that explodes near the incoming object destroying it with shrapnel. Its not rate of fire based like the c ram. Britains goalkeeper is also a very good design. Theres also a twin barrel varient that also shoots missiles, thats atm the most potent ciws, the russian one, i forget its name. But its pretty lethal, it fires faster, has 2 barrels and bigger rounds. All the american one has over it is better coding and is more responsive. The phalanx when they worked caus they were known for not working at all for a while when we first had them, but after they did worked they proved to be really quick and twitchy. Im sure the US system has the best internals, tracking and electronics, but its not the biggest puncher of them all.
I worked on CIWS in the Navy. It does NOT miss. Any object it fires upon are destroyed in less than 1 second. No need to continue firing as shown by AI.
Despite clearly focusing on the Phalanx (couldve put it in the title!): 0:45 - Oerlikon milenium gun 0:45 - The FAAD C2 is a software package, but the video makes it look like a physical system
intressting that you show an electro optic system related to the mantis system from germany and why you related mantis to the m 61 vulcan close in weapon system overall ? sure both systems have similliar roles but mantis works in a complete different way
I noticed that too. I think people think all "gun goes brrrrrrt" are the same. I mean, i saw a video of a guy saying an MP5 is equivalent to an AK-47 or something.
"It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." -Terminator
@@Steel0079 The shots with the red tracers are definitely a video game, and the projectiles are slow becuase they don't want it to be an instant no-fly zone. IRL that aircraft would be cheese in seconds at that range.
Yeah, the unlimited ammo bit is waay off base. When it comes down to it, limited energy is what makes all ammo limited. The only reason we don't collect spent ammo and remelt it into new ammo is that it takes much more energy than simply starting from new raw materials. And of course, _new_ metal is limited, but the total amount of metal on the Earth has never changed. Same thing with gunpowder. Unlimited energy allows you to collect the ashes and reverse the chemical process that explodes it.
The M61A1 also fires at 6000 RPM. It is typically set there for fighter installation. Notably it is set at 3900 for the F 35. Not really sure why. It has been capable of 6000 RPM since it's creation and was set at that since it's first aircraft appearance on the F 104 in 1959.
its actually very cost-ineffective, which is probably the main reason why we dont see similar systems in other large armies (Russia for example), just as stated in this video its most likely gonna get replaced soon I dont think it will get replaced by lazors tho, most likely it will be something like APS (active protection system) for tanks, basically a small "grenade" launcher that fires to intercept and explodes in close proximity to target.
@@madeanaccounttospillthebor9568 yes totally agree with you here, thats why its mainly used on ships because they are very expensive, still its probably gonna get replaced soon.
C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar) is a highly effective system used to defend against incoming attacks. It utilizes advanced radar and computer systems to detect and destroy enemy missiles before they can reach their target. C-RAM has been successfully deployed in several conflict zones around the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan. Its ability to rapidly detect and react to incoming threats has made it a valuable asset for military forces. Overall, C-RAM's effectiveness in thwarting attacks is a testament to the power of advanced technology in modern warfare.
"The C-RAM is a fascinating counterpart to the CIWS or Phalanx used on Naval ships. The US Navy also made super space laser energy invisible explosive radio wave weapons....but check out how fast the C-RAM shoots!"
Confusing video. The video is obviously talking about the US land based Phalanx system called Centurion as it outlines the weapon to be 20mm Gatling gun yet it cuts several times to the German Mantis system which uses a 35mm revolver cannon. Both are C-RAM systems yet they are not the same.
Right. And while battery technology is not even energy-dense enough for large e-planes, energy availability is (ultimately) the reason that all ammo is limited. We know that the amount of materials on the Earth never changes; and we know how to recycle ♻️ metals, and how to undo chemical reactions like the one that explodes gunpowder; but we don't have a power-efficient way to collect and reconvert all of it.
@@jeffrobe405 The footage is from a video game called Arma 3. The CRAM A.I. was purposely dumbed down in the original video for show. They didn't make the Arma video, just used one that existed, so that's why it doesn't hit, lol. It is very funny to me how they're using Arma clips though.
So C-RAM is essentially CIWS (close-in weapon system) placed on land and with different ammunition. I imagine the tracer rounds would also be beneficial when used with CIWS to aid visual confirmation and identification. I often travel to Portsmouth in the south of England (apparently the largest naval station in Europe) and they often have Royal Navy ships docked for resupply. The last time I was there they had HMS Defender in port and I was also lucky enough to see the famous HMS Illustrious (her crew often called her 'Lusty') many years ago and to see these Phalanx canons up close sends a shiver down your spine. They look foreboding and like something from the future. To be clear I don't mean I saw the Phalanx system on Illustrious as she was using Goalkeeper CIWS but all the older ships using that system were eventually swapped for the Phalanx other than Illustrious which was scrapped in 2010.
Thank you for responding to my prior statement on the state department upgrading after the fail @ bengazi. This reminds me of the seawiz. Love it. Team. C-Ram. Kicks ass like puff and mini guns. Vulcan 20mm. Updated with woah-nessis capabilities.... best
I feel like a lot of the ammo misses the target. This might be fixed with A.I. predictive software or a simple firing pattern within the viscinity of the target.
There are a lot of variables which can't be measured directly, like the windspeed, temperature and air pressure along the path of the C-RAM bullets, and along the path of the target. However, actually attempting to hit the target gives all of that information to you implicitly --- if not explicitly.
If you start at 2:14 and watch for a sec they describe how this is possible, depending on the distance damagesay still have been caused tho. The ammunition is made to self destroy after a set distance to prevent collateral damages in the very likely case of target misses.

C-Ram is a completely different system ( rolling airframe missile) this is a CWIS ( close in weapon system) I was a MK92 tech but I helped the CWIS techs also. We had a bravo version on the USS Doyle FFG 39 it was pretty sweet to watch it fire. - M.West
Wow. They let anybody into the Navy these days. You are confused because Sea-RAM using RIM-116 is indeed a missile system....and the pronunciation is the same.... but C-RAM is spelled different and is based upon Phalanx/ CWIS exactly like it says in this video. It is unfortunate that they chose to use two different names with the same pronunciation because the last thing the Navy should do is introduce confusion when an order is given to fire and then a question has to be asked about which system to fire.

India need this
@@murugan_kovai already available bro😃
How many of those shots were missed? And how much does it cost?
And where do they land?
@@HiddeVZ oh, true!
Please send some to Ukraine.
Mikolaive, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv for sure
I feel like a lot of the ammo misses the target. This might be fixed with A.I. predictive software or a simple firing pattern within the viscinity of the target.
I think this is already implemented just not show for general public ... Need to wait a decade or two ...
There are a lot of variables which can't be measured directly, like the windspeed, temperature and air pressure along the path of the C-RAM bullets, and along the path of the target.
However, actually attempting to hit the target gives all of that information to you implicitly --- if not explicitly.
Ukraine could use a dozen of these.😎

Ukraine will Prevail! 💛💙
we need to add more RAM
Mom: we have RAM at home
RAM at home:
RAM is Rolling Airframe Missile..
Using ARMA III (video game) footage LMAO
It is a weapon which inspires fear to a prospective enemy.
CRAM, Iron dome, and HELIOS for Taiwan!
C-RAM: See that plane? Now you dont.
2nd! good engnieering!
Anyone pay attention to the very first opening clip! That C-RAM dumped almost 100 rounds towards buildings tracking that jet!
If you start at 2:14 and watch for a sec they describe how this is possible, depending on the distance damagesay still have been caused tho. The ammunition is made to self destroy after a set distance to prevent collateral damages in the very likely case of target misses.
@@stanleyamerski4609 I am aware of that feature. in the video the distance of the building is unknown! So do we really know??
The first clip i’m pretty sure is from a video game
That's because the first opening clip was from Arma 3
I'm currently watching this before equipping this in my destroyer in Modern Warships
Every weapon is good in marketing until it is actually used against a military with capacity to fight.
C-Ram looks like a badass minion.
me riding a hot air balloon with my family
C-RAM:
Watching this minigun take down the latest Russian MiG is quite impressive. Keep up the great work ladies and gentlemen.
The Dutch had this on their navy ships 30 years ago.
Goalkeeper. Like I posted: the concept was invented by Hollandse Signaalapparaten and demonstrated to the US Navy, who just copied it
3:04 every 5th round fired was tracer

how is it against artillery?
I live surrounded by; Fort Sill, Marine traing base, Lawton,Oklahoma. It is 145 square miles of field Artillery range. That makes it the largest field Artillery practice range on earth!!! The Marines, train with the CRAM system, flares, and they blow stuff up every day!!! The CRAM system is as incredible to hear, as it is to watch!!! What am I afraid of??? Not one thing!!!

1:57 Bruh this isnt C-RAM
How expensive is each cartridge?
Why do I keep hearing impacts after all that? Does it ever hit anything?
only problem is the very limited range.
20 mm just isnt enough big enough to get the range needed to have more time to take out multiple threats
Getting one of these on my roof next week!
C-Ram is a completely different system ( rolling airframe missile) this is a CWIS ( close in weapon system) I was a MK92 tech but I helped the CWIS techs also. We had a bravo version on the USS Doyle FFG 39 it was pretty sweet to watch it fire. - M.West
Wow. They let anybody into the Navy these days.
You are confused because Sea-RAM using RIM-116 is indeed a missile system....and the pronunciation is the same....
but C-RAM is spelled different and is based upon Phalanx/ CWIS exactly like it says in this video.
It is unfortunate that they chose to use two different names with the same pronunciation because the last thing the Navy should do is introduce confusion when an order is given to fire and then a question has to be asked about which system to fire.

I guess you saying I am def wrong does not make it so. I attached the UA-cam link above to prove I'm right. Please attach a link to your proof that I am def wrong.
According to him with an 80% success rate. Does that mean the video here shown are the 20% miss? It never hits the target.
its a clip from a game
it isnt even hard to tell lmao
background music?
At 2:55 the script gets it wrong. I lived under a C-RAM umbrella at Anaconda on 2007.
Pardon my ignorance.
Isn't it wasting too much ammo ?
Aren't these controlled by computer that supposedly aim ahead of the target ?
I'd love to see the partial differential equations in there.
You have to reamber only like 1/4 of the bullets are tracers
This is what I want for my birthday present. Make it 2. One for the front yard and one for the back.
So no one is commenting on how for “the UK” they also highlighted the Republic of Ireland… which is very much NOT the UK. Disappointment at 3:34
