QUOTE
In tests earlier this year near Yuma, AZ, the C-RAM shot down 78% of incoming 60mm and 81mm mortar rounds. In addition, the distinctive sound of the C-RAM opening fire will serve as a sort of "red alert" warning system for ground personnel, and simply taking cover during mortar attacks will greatly reduce casualties even if the rounds make it past the defenses.

The complete C-RAM system networks a ground-based version of Phalanx together with the Army's Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR) and Q-36 Target Acquisition Radar (AN/TPQ-36 Firefinder Radar), which detects incoming rounds and determines their point of origin. When C-RAM detects an incoming round, it turns on a set of strobe lights to alert local personnel to take cover, authorizes the modified Phalanx to shoot 20 mm explosive bullets to destroy the projectile and dispatches a Hunter UAV equipped with Viper Strike laser-designated munitions to kill whoever fired
