Electro-Magnetic Railgun (EMRG)
Abstract
The Electro-Magnetic Railgun (EMRG) is a high-power, kinetic energy weapon capable of launching precision guided projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. This multi-year effort will build a Railgun Weapon System (RGWS) by designing, fabricating and integrating EMRG subsystems and components into a weapon system that brings new capabilities, increased capacity and improved operational economy to fleet operations at sea. With its increased velocity and extended range, EMRG provides multi-mission potential for hypersonic missile defense, anti-air & surface warfare, and naval surface fire support.
