I don't know a definitive answer - but if SeaRam simply replaces the Phalanx gun, surely it uses the same radar and therefore can track the same number of targets?? The other advantage of RAM is that it is fire-n-forget. The launching at different angles described earlier worries me - simply because I think it shows that the seeker head has a very limited engagement radius. Wouldnt it be an idea to eventually upgrade the seeker from a Stinger one to that of a Sidewinder X?
