Modern naval warfare is defined by speed, saturation, and complexity. Anti-ship missiles have evolved from subsonic sea-skimmers into agile, supersonic—and soon hypersonic—killers that compress reaction times to mere seconds. For surface fleets operating in contested waters, survival hinges on layered defense systems capable of detecting, classifying, and neutralizing incoming threats long before impact.At the heart of this layered shield lies one of the most critical systems in close-in defense: SeaRAM, a hybrid weapon that merges the proven Phalanx CIWS sensor suite with the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM). The result is a fully autonomous, fast-reacting, and highly accurate missile-based close-in weapon system designed to destroy threats that penetrate the outer layers of SM-2, SM-6, ESSM, and electronic warfare defenses.In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why SeaRAM is a crucial defensive platform for US Navy ?#defenseupdates #seaRAM #usnavy Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:22 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN01:56 NEED 03:03 SeaRAM05:21 INTERCEPTION06:32 ANALYSIS
