Epic winsauce. Whatever the hell that was, we need to dual-mount them in the turret of an Abrams tank and turn the Abrams from a MBT to a Anti-Everything tank. XD
@JamallMohatu It's an Army modification of the Navy's Phalanx Close In Weapon System; the 20mm radar-controlled gatling cannon to shoot down incoming anti-ship missiles. The radar is precise enough that it can also track it's own shots and make adjustments. So the Army figured if it could track it's own 20mm shells, should be no problem to track and engage incoming mortar and rocket-artillery rounds. And thus was born C-RAM (Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar)(aka, Centurion).
@MorganKeyes Ahh, I see. Pretty smart of the Army; must've saved a ton of R&D funding by taking the CIWS and modding it for land use. Anywho, thanks for the info, Morgan. [And I still want to mount two of them on an Abrams. Might not be practical, but it'd sure be fun.]
