The Centurion C-RAM, also called the Land Phalanx Weapon System (LPWS), is an American counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) air defense artillery system. It was developed in 2004, when combat during the Iraq War identified a weakness in ground-based anti-projectile artillery. The system is produced by Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Oshkosh Corporation.
