SeaRAM is a fully autonomous close-in weapon system designed to intercept incoming anti-ship missiles in seconds, combining radar, infrared tracking, and fire-and-forget interceptors with no human delay. A single SeaRAM unit is estimated to cost around USD 14–16 million, reflecting its sensors, launch system, and combat integration. Each interception costs about USD 1 million per missile, expensive by any standard—but insignificant compared to losing a warship and its crew. #SeaRAM #NavalDefense
