C-RAM - Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar / Test Fire
Ғылым және технология
Soldiers conduct weapons testing with a C-RAM - Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar weapon system as part of live fire exercise that takes place on Fort Sill, Oklahoma in preparation for unit deployment.
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 gun for close-in protection of vessels.
Both use a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera to allow their operators to visually identify incoming fire.

Is it 20mm? Also is it the same gun as the A-10 uses?

Yep, 20mm, not the same gun as the A-10, that’s a 30mm that the A-10 has, you’re probably thinking of the Netherlands’ Goalkeeper CIWS which uses the same gun as the A-10 but afaik there’s no land based equivalent of that.

Here's a short rundown from the top reply :3 The A-10C Thunderbolt II made by Fairchild republic Uses a "GAU/8A Avengers" Rotatory 30mm Cannon made by General Electric What's shown here is a C-RAM made by Raytheon which uses a M61A1 "Vulcan" Rotatory 20mm cannon made by guess who, General Electric. Also fun fact about the M61A1, its used on many aircrafts such at the F16, and also was used by the VADS anti air platform.

So then work for it so that it's yours. Therefore you don't have to rely on a government to take care of you. Who wakes up every day and puts the responsibility of their happiness in the hands of a federal government?

Trust me you don't want it. Canada has so called "free health care" its horrific. And you pay more in tax for it than you would for the best insurance going.
