RAMS is a radio-controlled system designed to remotely detonate demolition charges. RAMS provides the ability to detonate from a distance without direct wire detonation systems, allowing an improved stand-off capability. The system has a transmitter and two receivers that initiate blasting caps and detonate C4 or other types of explosives. The device allows for signals tests to ensure they are active through an automatic self-test that is built into each module. RAMS weigh slightly over three pounds, with a transmission range of over three miles.
