Railgun - Wikipedia
A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high kinetic energy to inflict damage. [2]

Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun - Wikipedia
The Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun is a long-range naval weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph to 5,600 mph. Electricity generated by the ...
This report provides background information and issues for Congress on three potential new ship-based self-defense weapons for the Navy—solid state lasers (SSLs), the electromagnetic railgun (EMRG), and the gun-launched guided projectile (GLGP), also known as the hypervelocity projectile (HVP).
The Navy is currently developing three potential new weapons that could improve the ability of its surface ships to defend themselves against enemy missiles—solid state lasers (SSLs), the...

Naval Railguns | IEEE Journals & Magazine - IEEE Xplore
2006年12月19日 · Naval Railguns Abstract: Compared with propellant guns, railguns can fire at higher velocities and do not require gun propellant but use ships' fuel. These features lead to important advantages, including shorter time of flight (important for ship defense), higher lethality on target (important for direct fire), and very extensive range ...
China, Japan, US Race to Perfect and Deploy Railguns
2023年12月10日 · A regular navy gun has a firing range of about 13-16 miles. China, US and Japan electromagnetic railgun (EMRG) projects envisioned to propel the HVP (high velocity projectiles) to speeds exceeding Mach 6 to a range of 100-120 nautical miles. Hypersonic speeds are considered anything above Mach 5.
