Someone should tell the US, UK, Israel, and Australia (all of whom operate the Centurion C-RAM/Land Phalanx Weapon System) [0] that that land-based CIWS system, and any potential similar system, cannot be used on land.
Well, if you're defending a fortress on the edge of an empty desert, or fighting in somebody else's back yard, I suppose exceptions can be made. But how could you possibly use something like that in a populated area? Do you think they are going to mount those on the White House roof? (Wait, never mind, don't answer that...)
