ELECTRIC GUN TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In FY10, applied research for Electronic Gun (EM) Gun technology was to determine the effect of velocity and novel penetrator design on lethality; investigate advanced propulsion concepts to achieve velocities above current ordnance velocities; and research advanced energetics to increase penetrator performance. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
