Part 5/8:
One notable distinction between SeaWiz and CRAM is the type of ammunition used. While SeaWiz utilizes tungsten ammo, CRAM is equipped with 0.79-inch high explosive incendiary tracer self-destruct cartridges. This choice of ammunition is particularly advantageous in urban environments, as it minimizes collateral damage from stray rounds.
Proven Effectiveness in Combat
The effectiveness of the CRAM system was first demonstrated in field tests during 2010, specifically to protect the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. During these operations, CRAM successfully neutralized 80 percent of incoming rockets and mortar shells within its designated area, showcasing its capabilities in real-world scenarios.
