Large Caliber Cannon Technologies
Abstract
This effort will advance the current state of the art in cannon and barrel technology for compatibility with higher velocity and precision munitions, harder rotating bands, high temperature operation, robustness against non-firing loads, and minimized weight and imbalance. This effort will investigate cannon concepts focused on residual stress & dynamic strain reduction, coating metallurgy, and barrel cooling to increase tube life and performance in high demand environments.
