CMWS flags threats in terms of direct, immediate fire that requires a quick crew response. The two threats it typically declares as hostile fire are rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire from small arms or machine guns. These represent the most common, direct fire dangers helicopters face in combat environments, prompting timely defensive actions. Missiles are detected and warned about, but in this context they’re not counted as the two hostile fire threat categories, so the two declared HFTs are RPG and gunfire.
