SeaRAM To Go Aboard Stealth Littoral Combat Ship

Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)

Raytheon will install the SeaRAM anti-ship missile defense weapon system on General Dynamics' Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).

SeaRAM is the latest addition to Raytheon's world-class ship self-defense suite combining the Phalanx Block 1B close in weapon system and the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) guided missile weapon system.

SeaRAM 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 RAM missile guide.
