SeaRAM: Why U.S. Navy Choose SeaRAM For The Latest Warships

- In this video, we are going to discuss what is SeaRAM and Why U.S. Navy choose SeaRAM for the latest warships. SeaRAM is an evolution of the MK15 Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS), which entered service in 1980. It is a low-cost spiral development of the proven Phalanx Block 1B and RAM, the latter produced jointly by Raytheon and RAMSYS of Germany. Intended to enlarge Phalanx's keep-out range against sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, SeaRAM utilizes enhanced Phalanx sensors and replaces the M61A1 20 mm gun with an 11-round Rolling Airframe Missile missile guide. In addition, SeaRAM will likely bring the first U.S. Navy implementation of the RAM Block 1A Helicopter, Aircraft, and Surface (HAS) capability to the fleet. It is designed to offer improved ship self-defense and extended keep-out range capabilities in hostile combat environments. It allows naval vessels to effectively engage in high-performance, supersonic and subsonic threats including sea-skimming, anti-ship missiles, high-speed incoming vessels, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and other surface targets. SeaRAM also provides a self-contained ship defense capability that leverages Phalanx's proven multi-spectral sensors with the demonstrated lethality of the Rolling Airframe Missile .

There's a surprising number of people who is asking about about the SeaRAM's reload speed. Former SWO here, the reload speed is irrelevant, the SeaRAM is a point defence weapon and tactically speaking, the ship shouldn't be in such a position that a point defence weapon should be used to take down a missile.
You have other weapons systems such as the various standard missiles which can engage targets at up to 90 miles, you have ESSM at 25 miles and considering the ranges of the other weapons systems, SeaRAM's 6 mile radius is considered to be VERY close combat for anti air warfare, by 6 miles you are seeing the missile in your horizon.
And those who are saying we should've kept the Phalanx, whilst it's better than nothing, the Phalanx is extremely limited in it's capability for modern anti air warfare. If a super sonic missile is taken out by the phalanx at 1 mile (if is it's max effective range), you now have hundreds of flaming shrapnel pieces that will still hit and damage your ship flying at hundreds of miles per hour.
Since you seem to be a man in the know
Let's say a mig gets off a lucky anti ship missile,Is killed as you say by an ESSM, but the Sea Ram system or Aegis or Phased array or whatever detects the Anti ship missile coming in Bow on,And you have an Aft Mounted Sea Ram, How much time in turn do you lose in getting your ship in Firing position for killing the missile, like you said The threat that fired it is most likely chased off or dead from VLS or deck gun,Do you pop the NUKLA, Turn hard and hope you can get enough turn to get the Sea Ram in position
@@seantgallagher672 the missile can fire in any direction and will course correct immediately.
Phalanx provides a countermeasure resistant backstop. All of my comments on this have been deleted apparently
@@MardukTheSunGodInsideMe I'm not sure this makes sense to me. The RC guidance is in the turret. If the turret can't face the incoming threat due to hull orientation there's no way it can guide the missile toward it.
@zolikoff Were both right btw. Sometimes hull structure is in the way sometimes it's not. The system can still rotate on its pad. Clearly it won't fire directly into its own hull. It could if it wanted to tho.

Awsome what make America great ..yes they will copy it eventually
During late 60s and 70s my country have the most powerful military in Asia we successful made our first made missile while china is still developing it. and we have a rich economy but when these communist take over the throne our military become weak and our economy was sunk and she delay all our military projects and all of our fighter jets get old other's was destroyed because to old to maintain and they retired them without no replacement now my country is suffering of bully of china. So take care of your military and support it government projects and always remember that the military is the backbone of your country.
One of the best AA in MW😄
Agree
Cheap and best
The best in terms
Anti spammer missile
agreed with ya full upgrade equals anti missle defence
Why do they not just combine the two systems together for protection?
Hate to tell you, but you need triple the amount of missiles hung onto that R2D2. Eleven is a bit puny.
well, RAM is medium, short and very short range air and sea defense, if something has gotten inside its closest range band, you would also have problems with Phalanx.
so with RAM you would add another layer to your mid and short range defenses but keep the very short range capability.
if your ship gets swarmed with enough silkworm hypersonic anti ship missiles to overwhelm the RAM systems of your ship, Phalanx also wouldnt cut it. and also air defense is a multilayered approach, with RAM only forming the innermost layers, threads should be hit with heavier VLS launched anti air missiles first
Must be hard being so much smarter than everyone else
i know. too bad they can't be reloaded right?
I must say am definitely buying one and installing it near my house
SeaRAM for LCS and Destroyers
RAM for LPD, LHA, Supercarriers, and the upcoming Constellation class
RAM Ranch really rocks🤠
They should have included both Sea RAM + CIWS with CIWS as fall-back last ditch defense if Sea RAM fails or if the target isn’t suitable for a missile strike, like close in boats or small drones.
Some ships do have both
Or change the main gun with OtMel Strales or Vulcan, it can be as ciws as well as naval gun in one system while keeping the SeaRam.
I’m pretty sure the CIWs is still being installed on ships. Most likely on these very same ships.
Sea RAM is a CIWS.
@@steamedcream7671 He mean the multi barrel gun CIWS. These are missile SeaRam
Comparing the selection of SeaRAM vs ESSM is apples to oranges!!! SeaRAM is a much smaller fully contained system that needs very little other than deck space and power (just a small remote operator's console inside the ship, and interface to ship's ESM equipment if available). Whereas, ESSM requires significantly more mechanical integration, under deck systems (for either box or VLS launchers), as well as integration into ship's sensors and a full on 'Weapon's Control Station" operator's console. The LCS ships just don't have the air search and tracking radar systems required to support the ESSM or the under-deck mechanical capability to physically support its launcher, so for the LCS SeaRAM is the only option to provide a point defense system. Now when used on the DDG the SeaRAM or CIWS systems are the last line of defense against aircraft and missiles in a multi-tiered AAW suite that includes SM2/3/6 missiles for medium to long range engagements, ESSM for medium to short range, and SeaRAM/CIWS for point defense (short range). So on the DDG the SeaRAM compliments the ESSM. Finally, you have the aircraft carrier SeaRAM/CIWS systems, on many carriers they too compliment ESSM in a 2 tiered defense, but here too you'll find that the CG & DDG escort ships and the CAP aircraft provide additional long and medium range AAW capabilties: therefore carriers only need to provide the medium to short range layers of the tier defense...
We need two of these on both of the uk carriers
What the uk carriers need the most right now is for the government to scrounge up enough money to outfit them with enough f35b, the primary defense for any credible carrier. In modern warfare, if a carrier has to use its ciws, the battle is almost certainly lost.
Definitely…it’s a wonder why they didn’t implement it from the onset…Let me guess, the MOD will say they didn’t have the funds 😂🤣
And if possible, also add some Sea Ceptor
@@kerberosWXIV The fighters are offensive, not defensive assets. Granted they can be used in defense but nearly all UK ships sans the subs and carriers are heavily geared toward defense. It's why they needed a US destroyer in the group because it contains both.
If the QE class is anything like its predecessors then having guns and missiles on it is even more critical as its ancestors weren't known to take a lot of damage and survive. The Armored carriers of WWII being the exception.
@@Predator42ID Fighters are flexible, they can be offensive or defensive this is why russia build the admiral Kuznetsov. The fighter it carriers are use primary for defense against american fighters to intercept them before they get in range to launch their missile.
My mans sounds like he’s just mindlessly reading an article on the system without really understanding what it’s talking about bc there are many areas where he doesn’t make sense.
LOL I thought the radar were ammo drum for the gatling gun
I thought so too
Thats till i saw the drum block below the vulcan
With the Chinese purported to favor saturation strikes with anti-ship missiles how is 11 going to cut it ?
By being just one layer in the protection, long range SM-6 or 2, medium range ESSM, short range RAM and after that throwing flares and chaff. Maybe firing the guns in hopes of getting a lucky hit.
are they sailing with one ships only?
SeaRAM ist ein hervorragendes Abwehr-Verteidigungssystem!
I miss working on all these weapon systems.
SeaRAM is hugely exciting
I too mostly use these missiles on my ship in modern warships
Because they are excellent and they arm almost immediately giving ships lots of time to shoot down missles.
I was surprised when I seen a US Coast Guard cutter equipped with one of these instead of the phalanx
They're putting these on cutters? Dang.
@@jackfletch2001 i’m assuming it was when they were deployed overseas
What's the story on reloads? To long does it take to reload this kit? Is it manually loaded? Half an hour latter seaswarm has ...
It supposed to be a phalanx comparable weapon, and in that case (the case it was designed for) the SeaRAM would be more effective or equal to a phalanx in terms everything including reload time.
Looks manually reloaded. Unless the missile magazine is dropped into the base unit and them a replacement lifted into place.
@@robertwillis4061 yes sir... Every thing I've seen, is a bunch of folks milling about with ammo and such... Mean while the second wave is a combing. The sea ram being bulkier just brings with it, it's own set of issues. Speed on reloads is a necessity, a must.
@@pilarmorin4405 so going by that idea then both a Gatling gun and SeaRam system is required. With one on each side of a vessel diagonally opposite, to cover the most area.
US can install Vulcan or Strales main gun system in their ship for additional Ciws, if they willing put aside their ego.
Just how old is this video when at the 4:26 time stamp it says “Beginning in November 2015 the Navy will”, key word here is “WILL”?
New to this channel so I don't know about other videos, but the particle effect throughout the whole video is a bit distracting, and waste bandwidth for slow internet users. Otherwise great video.
What I want to know, is how far the radar can see, at the elevation its been placed on the Arleigh Burke... Its not that high above the water, thus not giving a very far horizon... Especially against sea skimming anti-ship missiles. Even the Phalanx system placement on the Iowa class battleship at about 70ft above water would still only give about a 17 km horizon... which would mean it would detect an ASM at about 25 km... that's not a lot of time for it to actually calculate its fire solution, launch and actually reach the target. An enemy ASM traveling at mach 2 would travel the 25 km in 35 seconds... so in that time it would have to detect, calculate fire solution, launch missile in about 10-15 sec.
I wonder how it would fare against hyper sonic threats...
The thing with the original M61A1 platform is it doesn't matter how far it can detect ASMs, it's reported effective range just wouldn't be able to match it. Where as the SeaRAM practically has the capability to hit anything it can detect. IIRC the SeaRAM is supposed to tie in with the Aegis system. A concerning thing however would be how well it would cope with saturation attacks.
@@suitbanter1851 As I understood it, it specifically does well with saturation attacks. Knowthing that at least two missiles are fired for every defencive system on your ship, its very easy going to be 6-12 missilles coming at you.
But, detection is still needed, and while you could hook it up to the Aegis system, you could also have it use the phalanx radar and be self-contained... in which case it would not have a very far horizon...
@Drew Peacock Its supposed to work well. That is one of its main reasons for existing. However, for it to respond and launch missiles it has to register the incoming missile. The RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile has a top speed of mach 4, but that is not going to help much if the radar does not pick up the treat at long range. If its the version coupled up on the aegis system, any ship can relay targeting information, if its the version on the Phalanx radar its a stand alone system, which means that that particular launcher needs to be able to see the incoming missile. At an altitude of 5m a sea skimming anti-ship missile traveling at mach 5 will close 30km in 36 seconds. For the radar to be able to see said sea skimming missile at 30km it needs to be mounted at 38m... So its a difficult task, and thats why ships don't sail alone and why they carry a layered defence! :)
The "C DOME" send a kiss to this...
Have to agree about the sea ram
They need these missile pods to compliment the C-Ram multi turret system, no replace it…think of those small sized drone swarms
How fast can it be reloaded ?
excuse me but...WHY the missile should roll? in other words, what is the technical reason to have a rolling airframe missile instead of a non-rolling airframe missile?
thanks!
Can anybody tell me what is 'high percentage skin on skin intercept'.? That speaker talking about block ||.
the gunner's mates are gonna like not having to move CIWS ammo anymore too lol
SEA RAM & SEA SPARROW is the best combination.
How do they reload the sea ram? Do they have stockpiles of sea ram missiles in the ship?
Yes, like the Sea Sparrow they can just load up more
@@leandro9311 thanks for the reply man. I really thought that they can only reload on ports. I thought before that 11 sea ram isn't enough against a barrage of missiles.
Its a muzzle loader with blackpowder live fuze .
@@bapet5614 11 definitely far from enough if going to war
@@hfjchan true but my questions is are they effective against chinese hypersonic missiles (carrier killer missiles)
Okay this must be why the flight 2a Burke destoyer's have only the rear ciws installed
So 11 missles?
I hope they're accurate.
Which missile does SeaRAM use ?
I wonder its effectiveness for targets skimming below 3 meters which most new ashws are capable of. I heard it's nearly impossible for point defense missile to hit such low maneuvering targets.
This type of thing has been expected when considering the fierce armoury of the Russian and Chinese missiles..
There are 11 missile in that system so what will they do if the enemy shot 12 missile ?
@@ahmadwu843 Fleets operate together and its not just 1 ship. So times that 11 by 5 or 10 ships.
@@ahmadwu843 this is an ADD ON to the main AA system
Will it truly be able to take the place of the phalanx CIWS? What about threats like small boats? Or staggered missile attacks? How fast can you reload it? And what is it’s minimal range?
Phalanx is practically useless against modern missiles due to them becoming more agile and the phalanx needing a direct hit (no proximity fuse and 20mm ones wouldn't do much anyway). And against boats there is the main gun and several other gun systems.
They have 50 caliber rounds, 5 inch rounds, and searam which isn't too good at swarms, but Ram missiles can target fast boats and essm.
As good as accurate missiles are for defense, they can't really replace the Phalanx. The 2 have different enough roles that this doesn't cover the strengths of the Phalanx. This has 11 missiles it can kill, and then you are screwed. At least with the Phalanx you can quickly change targets and keep engaging.
Honestly I think the 2 systems would make a good pair with each other. The missiles taking out as many threats as it can, while the Phalanx gets whatever is left
Also consider that phalanx have limited range compared to missiles and it’ll be harder to hit targets the futher it is.
While RAM missiles are more accurate, more range than phalanx, and consistent travel time since it is powered by a rocket, this is just additional layer of defense amongst other things
A year later. It seems the USN is favoring the RAM over the Phalanx, at least for the Constellation-class frigate and the DDG(X). The Constellation-class frigate: it will use a SeaRAM. The DDG(X) concept: two RAM launchers and no Phalanx. The supercarriers still use Phalanx probably because they're simply so large that room isn't a premium. But where space for CIWS is limited, it seems we're coming to the point where it's better to have two RAM launchers than one RAM launcher and one Phalanx.
I agree that there should remain a non-missile supplement to the RAM. I love the R2D2, but it's aging and I'm inclined to say it's becoming obsolete in the modern age of combat. For example, Phalanx can technically engage supersonic missiles, but the reality is that RAM is so much more effective at defending against such threats, and at longer range. Phalanx's such short engagement envelope puts the ship at risk of being hit by missile debris; a simple hit on the radars could mision-kill the ship.
With a ROF of 75 RPM and a magazine of only 1,550 rounds, Phalanx only has 20 seconds worth of firing before it's out. In an attack, one SeaRAM with 11 missiles can easily take down more threats than one Phalanx. And of course the standard RAM launcher has 21 missiles.
What appears to be replacing the Phalanx is directed energy weapons. The US has done tests with shooting down simulated cruise missiles with lasers. An Arleigh Burke-class destroyer was recently fitted with the experimental HELIOS laser weapon system. The GRF class and DDG(X) are advertised to be able to accomodate such future weapons. Once systems like these mature, they could very much become the 21st-century Phalanx CIWS, operating alongside RAM.
Guys, just call it a ram. Not a ram missile. You said it yourself a few times, rolling airframe MISSILE. So why call it a rolling airframe missile missile? Once you say what a RAM is, we are smart enough to follow along
Idk how I feel about a full swap to this, as Phalanx CWIS was very good at dumping about a million rounds on a target. Held lots of rounds and I think iirc it's pretty easy to load. I think 2 of each, 1 fore 1 aft of both types. But CRAM has very high capability in areas that I'm not sure R2D2 would be great at, hypersonics and super low skimming BS lol.
Million rounds or 11 this one doesn't make sense someone in DC wanted this I'd bet.
@@phrogman4654 Phalanx CIWS fires about 80 rounds a second. Normally in 60 or 100 round bursts towards its target. The block 0 versions (and I expect improvements) could track asses and engage up to 20 incoming targets hitting them in priority order. The drum underneath holds a little over 1000 rounds, so in reality that does not give much full engagement time (about 16 seconds of firing time).
It would probably be sensible to include SeaRAM as well as the CIWS mounts to counter incoming threats closer in if the other layer of the defense fails (in the US probably the Mk 41 or Mk 57 launch systems).
The downside of all of these systems is how long they take to reload. SeaRAM I don't know about, but the Phalanx takes (with a practiced and skilled crew of 4 ) between 10 to 15 minutes to full a drum. That is an age when in combat. SeaRAM looks like it could be quicker (just by putting the new missile in the back end), but I never worked on it.....
The general considered combat strategy used against a 1990's frigate would be to overwhelm the layered defense. So this was considered to be using 7 to 9 anti-ship missiles, in as many angles as possible to try and ensure one of them gets through the defense. However these days it only takes one........
(ex-RN Weapons Engineer in the 1990's)
Issues have arisen of blue on blue with the gun based system. Specifically The USS Missouri received hits from another ship in the SAG during the gulf war
It's a battleship a few bullets from phalanx aren't going to hurt it.
Also, can you send a link or where to look for that as I would love to read that.
Thank you.
What about hypersonic missiles?
that’s all great but how does it reload?!
What is SeaRAM's range?
The video starts at 6:32.
i really dont understand. Missile defense? how many can it launch at the same time? the danger now are swarms of drones or swarms of missiles. This is good againts how many at the same time?
What's the re-load drill like ?
There will probably be more than one on a ship. Ships usually have 2 phalanx. 2x11 minimum. And ships aren’t usually alone so any missile barrage should be stopped
@@TomTheGamer913 but for one ship it would be enough to shoot 23 missiles (example) and 1 goes trough?
I mean, without the essm, VLS and other AA options
@@TomTheGamer913 what i want to say is, it might seem that's not enough self protection but idk
....but all depends on the mission, therefore they deploy the right fleet...
@@hekt0rbod3gas36 they can put Oto melara Strales system from additional ciws if they want, but I doubt US will use Italian gun over theirs.
@@hanscumyeah4216 yeh I doubt it too. But much Europe nations use the oto melara systems.
Yeah.. what im struggling to gasp is.. for most scenarios 11 missiles is okay... Most warships probably never have to use them .. but during wartime i dont think 11 is enough.. like this seems like a system where u have to dock to reload.. if so then once 11 are depleted the ship is vulnerable... Otherwise if they can reload while at sea.. im thinking it will take lot of time during which the ship is defenseless.. so they should have either 2 of 3 of these or 1 cwis and 2 sea ram .. something like that... But im just an viewer ...
@Andrew Cooper yeah duhhh.. i know that but those vks are not for point blank or close range and since there are only 11... So in case of swarm attacks .. there wont be that much missiles to launch.. vks barak8 are for medium range not for close in engagement
Reloading time for me is the problem, add the weather no good.
Why you are going to choose between the Vulcan and the misiles if you can have both things. Like the kastam, but the thing that is more similar is a ciws that is being design by a Spanish company for the spanish navy, that features a GAU of 23mm and 4 ram mislles. That's why are you going to choose one if you can choose the two?
Mix feeling....CIWS Gatling gun in manual mode verse SEARAM spinning missiles...$$$ is the deciding factor.
Is it easy to reload??
Worth noting that SeaRAM is only worth it for ships that lack the capability to cueing a standard RAM launcher (like the LCS). Half the missiles is a hefty price in terms of surviving a saturation attack. Ships fully equipped with a capable radar and combat system (like the Constellations and the Flight III Burkes) should get standard RAM (at least I hope the USN does).
Even small missiles boats carry the standard variant, so the LCS should be able to use them as well.
does it protect against hypersonic antiship missiles?
@@mathewferstl7042 I looked it up and could not quickly find info. What is a thermal phase? Thanks.
@@robbrown4621 It's the last part of its journey, so a ballistic missile for example the thermal phase would be the re-entry back into the atmosphere before hitting the target. Hope that answered your question
SeaRAM was only put on Burke’s because they were operating in Black Sea and didn’t have the right Aegis Baseline to target anti ship missiles while in ballistic missile defense mode.
Most dangerous machines gun
Imagine multiple systems employed on these vessels all fired at once
They do at Carrier strike groups and they are also testing lasers 💪
They’ve always done that. This is an area point defense. After everything else have failed either the CIWS or SeaRam will engage.
Enemies won’t fire 1 missile at a time, they will saturate fire missiles. What I mean by this is, they’ll shoot more than 11 missiles at the ship. Then they’ll fire more when the system has to reload its 11 capacity. Which by the looks of it, reload could be very time costly meaning higher chance for critical strikes. I’d feel more comfortable in a Russian ship than an American ship. Just saying.
You also have to remember that one ship will have travel companions. Whatever is attacking will have to, most likely, contend with an entire Carrier Group. They'll have to fend off 5+ ships total, and in about 30mins the carrier could launch most, if not all, of it's aircraft complement. The goal is to destroy whatever is attacking before you have to reload.
The only ships that rely on them are landing docks which would have escorts and the LCS which aren't really meant for combat with an actual capable enemy. For all other its just a layer of several.
Aged well 🙂
I didnt watch the whole video but What if an incoming missile has a radar jamming capability?
The RAM has its own ir-sensor, so there should be no problem with a radar jamming device.
USN's fleet of nuclear powered Gerald R Ford class 102,000 ton stealth (CATOBAR) super carrier should be armed with both 20 MM Phalanx & SeaRAM (Block II) CIWS . . . two 20 MM Phalanx CIWS & one SeaRAM (Block II) CIWS per ship . . .
After watching this video. I'm confused the difference between seaRam and rolling airframe.
Oh god, this thing is going to auto-lock on to allies again.
Damn I never saw this thing before.... Holy smokes... Is it that much better then CIWS? Why not just have this SeaRam right under a CIWS gun have the missels to defend and the gatling gun like thing
They will building a lot a of these...
This has been on LCS since 2010
Ses ram , ciws and jerry with a frying pan as the last line of defence .
Egypt also got block 2
What happens if you get attacked by 12 missiles in a short time?
Hmmmm … 🤔 My question is how fast to reload this? Looks like it needs cranes, many personnel and much time needed. Phalanx CIWS are just bullets so it can be refilled relatively quickly. 😰 so this could be prone to saturation attacks unless they install many of these per ship 😰
The Phalanx reload time is slow actually
Things is tho, it store enough ammo for a battle, 11 rounds of missles wont last a battle however
So they gonna need to expand the rounds up by atleast twice the amount
@@henrycooper3431 that’s why … i know CIWS reloads can be cumbersome imagine how SeaRAM is.
To your point, which is also what I said, I actually think that the each destroyer should have at least 2. Aircraft Carriers should have at least 4.
Like Everyone else here,Only 11 arrows in your quiver..However the CIWS being less accurate fires more rounds And does not have infinite stores of ammo, So In comparison,The sea ram is more lethal,But why not a 22 round system or Dual mounts one Forward and one aft.If a threat is coming bow on, A rear mounted Sea ram would have to wait for at leat a 30 degree Hard Turn before she could achieve safe firing position and that's miles closer for the threat,And what about multiple threat environment Where multiple target tracking is required,Does the Phased array and Aegis system " link up" prioritizing the threats for the Sea Ram?
Good idea. Go from thousands of rounds to 11.
It only takes 1 missile to destroy a target.
While cwis takes thousands of rounds to destroy 1 target
Russian missiles are hypersonic. No SEA RAM missile can hit one anyway so the whole point is mute.
@@mbak7801 Russian missiles aren't immune to electronic jammers and decoys
if CIWS and RIM had a baby
What if they launch 12 missiles
There should be an Auto Re-Load system or a Constant Auto feed from below deck. When all hell breaks loose it will not be a Single Threat .
It will be a SWARM.
I guess these will be replaced with lasers in the not too distance future.
what about bhramos!!!! can searam stop bhramos??
First Brahmos not Bhramos
Second they can
Why not both?
DF 21 D: Oh no! Anyways
SM-3 oh no anyways
They seem so under armed, how come they don't have 4 phalanx and SeaRam?
OK-----------. Unless the 20mm Seawiz is upgraded with at least a 35mm gun with proximity rounds if not true target seeking smart rounds they should be replaced by the SeaRam launchers that can reach out and kill missiles over 5-miies away instead of just the last 1,000 meters "hopefully"!!! Though the SeaRam mounts with only 11 rounds should get a reloader that takes less than an hour to reload missiles. Preferable less than 5 minutes... Using a rack of missiles below deck that is ready to slide or lift up to the launchers Missile box to push missiles into any vacant tubes in the Box in one easy push 11missiles could be loaded in seconds. When Chinese Missile are flying at the Fleet by the hundreds in waves, only having 11 Rams to destroy stragglers is just Pitiful...
One ships must have 8 SeaRAM
Thats why the Chinese fear the lcs. Catch them coming out of gate or in the gate...
Time 5:00
It repeats all info given up to that point.
Skip
Indian navy should also equip its naval ship with these badass american weapons🇮🇳❤️🇺🇲
They have Barak 8, can hit targets next to the ship or up to about 90 km away, also VL so give a 360 degree coverage, and it's Israeli, so you know it's going to work.
@@briananthony4044 yup i know barak 8 is jointly developed by Israel and drdo of India
How’s it reloaded, manually, automation, time to do it? I can’t see the builders, military ppl not asking same. One swarm could be devestating
If it had been built in Russia, it would have an automated reloading feature. Being US it is manually loaded and will be overwhelmed in a swarm attack. Also if it was on a Russian ship, there would be at least 2, US ships get 1. The Russian ship would also retain it's gatling guns, the US ships lose theirs.
If it had been built in Russia, it would be put on one ship and then the program would run out of money
@@codyhawkcaster4671 Actually the other way around. USN ships are built for profit. Fitting two units on one ship reduces profit so only one is fitted. The Russians build for effect. Each ship can and does have multiple defensive systems regardless of cost. Also Russian anti ship missiles are too fast for SEA RAM to deal with which means their ships are well defended but US ships are unprotected. Profitable sitting ducks.
@@mbak7801 Aged well 🙂
🇺🇸
Only 11 missiles? The RAM is a 21 missile system. Seems vulnerable to swarm attacks.
Do you know how armadas sail it's not only one and they are still having the ciws in their defense but they needed something else to counter at middle range
And .... the 12th enemy missile?
You know the ship have atleast a hundred more missiles in the VLS right ?
Vl Ram wasnt mentioned.
Why is there a channel that explains all our military tech? I don’t see Russia or China doing that.
if 11 rounds run out ?
It launch itself towards the target 😋
It supposed to a phalanx comparable system, do you except at phalanx to take more targets than what 11 RAM missiles can do?
@@williamang9649 very effective!
@@mathewferstl7042 I mean is 11 rounds enough to protect itself?
@@skyhighmikee6629 In combat the missiles could except to have a ~50% hit percentage (which is typical of SAM systems) so that's about 5-6 missiles intercepted for one SeaRAM. Considering this is supposed take some of the functions of the phalanx that's good enough if not better considering its longer range and being able to engage multiple targets at the same time. If you need a higher capacity the Mk-49 launcher would be better but it doesn't come with any fire fire control or search radars so it's a toss up between the two. More capacity or less capacity better integrated systems and can be easily placed where phalanx's would normally go. So yeah it would always be better to have more but for it's job, it's good *enough* .

Eleven shots and that's it?
Russian ships seems to have more anti missle guns than American and far more lethal. Why? Laziness or just don't want to spend the money to have more defenses/offensive weapons? Not to mention 1 5inch gun seems to be not enough. Beef that stuff up. I want our Navy to have as many weapons and ammo as possible.
12 missiles and the ship can kiss its ass goodbye. Eleven are bait and number 12 is behind the eleven. Ridiculous weapon if it can’t be reloaded fast enough to deal with a swarm attack.
