The Navy's Killer Railgun: Is It Happening or Not?
Task and Purpose at Test Feed Using Fields - 12 hours ago
*Task and Purpose*
*Security, *
This is what we know.
*We have some answers.*
The Navy will continue to fund research and development efforts related to
the service’s much-hyped electromagnetic railgun but will likely not pursue
a shipboard tactical demonstrator, according to sources briefed on the
matter, a development that will likely condemn the more than $500 million
project to a R&D limbo as the Department of Defense focuses on other
directed energy programs.
