US Army to Evaluate C-RAM Gun System
The US Army is seeking countermeasures to defeat incoming enemy rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) attacks. As part of the Extended Area Protection & Survivability (EAPS) program the Army plans to evaluate gun-based countermeasures currently under development at Alliant Techsystems (NYSE:ATK). The company received a $4.6 million contract from the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), to develop and demonstrate a 50mm gun and ammunition system that will be fired from a derivative of the ATK's Bushmaster cannon. The projectile will employ course-correction techniques based on commands received via data-link.
