US Navy Moves Closer to Perfecting Railguns that Fire 10 Rounds per Minute
US Navy Moves Closer to Perfecting Railguns that Fire 10 Rounds per Minute The U.S. Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Virginia is testing a new 32 megajoule (MJ) electromagnetic railgun built by Britain's largest defense firm, BAE Systems, plc, with the aim of making this weapon fire-off rounds in rapid succession. Experimental railguns being tested have a paltry rate of fire of about a round a minute. The aim of both NSWC and BAE Systems is to build a 32 MJ railgun capable of firing non-explosive, kinetic energy rounds at a rate of 10 rounds per minute. Navy sources said the NSWC/BAE Systems team can now get its BAE Systems railgun to fire multiple shots per hour. The team expects to reach the goal of 10 rounds per minute by the end of this year. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank You For Watching..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Site : https://worldofweapon.wordpress.com Facebook : / worldofweapon16 Twitter : / worldofweapon VK.com : https://vk.com/vk.worldofweapon Myspace : https://myspace.com/worldofweapon Tags::-- aircraft, aircraft carrier, military, carrier, future, indian navy aircraft carrier, armed forces, weapon, army, china, technology, news, navy, stealth aircraft, usa, nato, air combat, jet engine, jet, sukhoi pak fa, f-22, pilot, bomber, fighter aircraft, flight simulator, stealth technology, top gun, royal navy, carriers, airplane, airbus, boeing, airliner, aviation, aerospace, canadian, canadian army, canada, defense, rocket navy, us navy, military, 2017, us, north korea, weapons, ship, army, ocean, boat, military power, ship (product category), warship (ship class), united states navy (armed force), live, kim, new, uss freedom (ship), documentary (tv genre), air force, million dance, seoul, south korea, peninsula, korean, donald, alternative media, nuclear, putin, nato, fox, bbc, tension, congress, official, u.s., group, strike, carrier military, navy, railgun, u.s. navy, news, weapon, army, technology, ship, naval, future, battle, destroyer, speed, operation, test, entertainment, fire, power, defense, innovation, science, weapons, armed forces, usa, cannon, gun, airforce, awesome, rifle, arsenal, explosion, explode, advantage, tactical, industrial, bigbeat, music, electronica, aim military, navy, technology, us navy, weapons, us, future, laser, weapon, missile, rocket, army, defense, us sailors, naval, m242 bushmaster, training, drone, futuristic, tank, gun, soldier, future weapons, brutal, spot, ls3, body, exoskeleton, armor, robot, boston dynamics, north korea, nuclear, afghanistan, iraq, isis, boeing, bae systems, movie, sci-fi military, navy, future, submarine, worlddoc1, united states navy (armed force), indian navy (armed force), high-definition television (accommodation feature), military documentary, military (film genre), documentary (tv genre), uss freedom (ship), uss independence (lcs-2) (ship), ship (product category), warship (ship class), now, marines (job title), politics (tv genre), full documentary, littoral-combat ship (ship type), funker530, combat channel, air force, marines, army, indian navy destroyers, indian navy frigates, indian navy corvettes, indian navy anti submarine, indian navy patrol vessel, indian navy ships, future india navy, high-definition video (film format), christening, uss indiana, virginia-class, fast attack, ssn 789, navyrules, top5tips
