TUCSON, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Raytheon's latest anti-ship missile variant intercepted an incoming target from a SeaRAM missile system during a U.S. Navy live-fire exercise.
Company officials say the SeaRAM system successfully tracked and engaged inbound threats, firing a Rolling Airframe Missile Block 2 for the first time. The system was configured with a Phalanx Close-In Weapon System for the test, similar to how the U.S. Navy plans to deploy the systems in combat.
