Navy’s Railgun Now Undergoing Tests In New Mexico, Could Deploy On Ship In Northwest

[Weatherman2020]

I’m a huge proponent of the rail guns. Conventional shells need to go boom to fire, requiring storage and handling requirements in the ship and as we saw on the USS Iowa the boom can sometimes go the wrong way. If someone had not closed a hatch per requirements the Iowa and her crew would be with Davy Jones.

Rail gun shells are just overgrown steel paperweights and can be stored anywhere with no safety concerns other than securing them in place.

I read about this a few years back. It can be fired in space and could very easily be mounted on a space vehicle. By using certain metal configurations and explosives it can be far more accurate than many of our smart weapons and the energy it can hit with from outer space could destroy whole buildings, city blocks, and more. This thing is wild. No need for ICBM's in the US any more as it can be operated in space and fires at hyper-sonic speeds.

Look up Star Wars Defense System > Strategic Defense Initiative | Description, History, & Facts

On board a ship a smaller version of this gun can defeat any hypersoinc weapon/missile as its systems can not detect the small projectile at such high speeds. It should be capable of taking out surface to ground and air to air missiles in less than about 3 seconds as it approaches the target. This has a lot of potential uses.

 

[Billy_Bob]

The only draw back is recharge time. IF they can fix this problem and make it a fully automatic weapon then it could have serious uses.

How would a projectile take out a building or a city block? It would not have sufficient mass to create the energy required. I guess whoever came up with that theory never took physics.

Sufficient velocity, such as it would gain if fired from orbit, would generate huge amounts of kinetic energy.

55 kilometers per second is out of the reach of a rail gun projectile. No, they would have use an explosive package for that.

Well ‘Admiral’, the days of Naval shore bombardment are gone, it’s ship to ship again. The pendulum has swung back.

Air power can now reach any location on earth.

The item I find most intriguing is this technology is being used today on two nuclear aircraft carriers to catapult aircraft. Pilots say it beats steam hands down but it also generates about 1G force more than a steam cat in less time.

Yeah, it’s going on the new super carrier Gerald Ford. They’ve had a lot of problems with it, as with any leap in technology. Great idea over the old steam system which is dangerous.

IF you use the right combination of metals the explosion, on impact, will level whole city blocks and potentially much more if fired from space.

Steam is reliable and proven which is why a back up system is on board this carrier. Even if the electric one fails the steam cats will still be able to operate. The newer cats have a much higher failure rate than is acceptable in inclement weather condition's.

What causes the fucking explosion? Do you understand anything about physics? Please explain how an inert object causes an explosion.

Do you know what happens when a nuclear explosion occurs outside the earth's atmosphere? Lots of radiation, and not much else! Why? There is nothing to react to the release of the energy! No atmosphere to heat up with all of that energy!
