Can the C Ram Weapon system destroy a small mortar round in under four seconds,
or intercept a large supersonic anti-ship missile flying at Mach 2?
But The underlying mechanics are relatively straightforward.
The system requires both a search radar and a tracking radar to identify and lock onto these high-speed objects.
Once a threat is tracked, the weapon engages, firing a continuous stream of thousands of rounds per minute.
Aboard naval vessels, this process is entirely autonomous, with a human operator present merely as a precaution.
However, the land-based Centurion system faces a more complex environment.
It must rapidly differentiate friend from foe, filtering out friendly helicopters and wildlife like birds, to isolate genuine threats like enemy drones or incoming artillery.
