Electro-Magnetic Railgun (EMRG)
Abstract
Electro-Magnetic Railgun (EMRG) is a high-power, kinetic energy weapon capable of launching precision guided projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. When released into the railgun, an electric pulse launches the projectile at speeds up to Mach 6. EMRG will bring new capabilities, increased capacity and improved operational economy to fleet operations at sea. With its increased velocity and extended range, the EM Railgun provides multi-mission potential for hypersonic missile defense, anti-air & surface warfare, and naval surface fire support.
