How to get contract info (price) of such CIWS?

Any incling how much RAM (21 round launcher) and SeaRam (RAMmed Phalanx mount) cost?

I have just dug deeper into the SIPRI website as you have suggested. But I find the website doesn’t contain much free info about the matter I am interested in.

In the “arms transfer” section, I have downloaded some brief reports about the arms exprot data of Russia between 1994 and 2004. But this document dosen’t provide much price info of the trade. Maybe those useful inof are provided in their Year Book, which is not for free.

this similar to the thread u posted earliar on CIWS both of them should be merged.
Anyway from top of my head
Phalanx orginal costs around 5 million (not adj for inflation), costs around 4.5 million to upg orginal to 1B. Based on recent order i believe cost of
Phalanx 1b is around ~ 9.5 million $.
Goalkeeper ~ 11 million euros
Kashtan ~ 20 million $?

This thread mainly focus on the method to gather contract infomation, esp. price information, about the CIWS, and other amrs trade in general. That is a little different from the other threat about CIWS technology characteristics. Even so, I want to thank you for your concern.

The price info “from top of your head” does draw a lot of my attention. I knew that GoalKeeper is almost twice as much as basic models of Phalanx in price. Now you’ve just give me some idea about the Kashtan. But does anyone know how much the Palma is? Or it has not been exported yet? How about AK630?

You search on the internet on the particular type of CIWS and see if you can find anything about this or that navy signing a contract for some of these systems. You’ll probably find several ‘deals’ for each system. You then figure out what each of the contract entails exactly (weapons, spare parts, training etc). By comparing contract values and what the contracts entail, you will be able to narrow down the price of each CIWS, within a reasonable margin of error.

Good places to start are SIPRI and other research institutes that monitor and publish reports on arms trade.

Thank you very very much, Wanshan!
The method you recommanded works to me!
Also, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute website really contains some useful infomation about international weapon transfer, and basically those info are free to access. The SIPRI is just a good place to start with.
Hoping you can share more sources like SIPRI with us.

Thanks again!

Hey guys!

I am doing a small paper about some CIWS, i.e. Palma, Kashtan, AK630, Phalanx and GoalKeeper. As a matter of fact, I need to get some idea about the price of each kind of these CIWS products in the international weapon market.

So, if you fine gentelman happen to know about where I can acquire such kind of infomation, please give me some hint.

Thank you very much. 🙂
