What is the role of the RAM system?

The RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile) system is specifically designed for passive missile interception. It is a lightweight, quick-response missile system that is primarily implemented to protect naval vessels against anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The RAM system uses passive guidance, utilizing infrared and other sensor technologies to detect and track incoming threats without relying on active radar emissions, which enhances stealth and reduces the chances of detection by enemy forces.

This mode of operation makes RAM particularly effective in air defense scenarios, allowing for rapid reaction to incoming threats while maintaining a low profile. The design and functionality of the RAM system focus on ensuring that naval assets are safeguarded from a variety of aerial threats with a high level of accuracy and reliability.
