Railgun
Abstract
EMRG provides ship-based program/technical development to produce a standard railgun/mount for use onboard Navy warships. Railgun provides increased capability for the following mission sets: Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS), Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Fast Attack Craft and Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), and future potential for Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW). EMRG uses electromagnetic energy, vice traditional chemical propellant (i.e. gun powder), to launch projectiles providing: greatly increased range (110+nm vice 13nm for current 5" chemical propellant [gunpowder] guns); increased ammunition storage capacity; increased ship safety; increased layered point defense; and decreased costs when compared to current weapons. The net effect is an increased capacity against multiple simultaneous threats at a lower operational cost to offset a potential adversary's asymmetric missile strategy. The EMRG will launch the Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP), currently in development as a Future Naval Capability (FNC).
