I wonder why the GD design has a SeaRAM launcher instead of the normal one like the LM design.
SeaRAM is basically a Phalanx CIWS with a 11 cell RAM launcher replacing the 20mm Gatling gun.
It it totally autonomous, contrary to normal RAM launchers which rely on the ship's radars for targeting.
But "lack of sensors" was sofar not one of the critiques of the LCS.
