Development is conducted with 2007 g, the first ground testing is scheduled for 2017 g. The exact caliber of the gun has not yet been determined. It will probably be around 100 mm.

“The installation will have to hit air, surface and ground targets and is proposed to replace standard 127-mm universal artillery mounts on US Navy ships. At the first stage, it is supposed to use kinetic bombs or tungsten shrapnel to hit targets. The MMRRWS firing range for a ballistic trajectory can reach 100 km, ”the article says.

The basis for the development was the experimental electromagnetic gun Blitzer with the power 3 MJ, which tests have been going on for about 6 years.

The corporation also announced “successful development of hypersonic shots, which are considered the most complex element of electromagnetic guns in general, since the overload of a projectile with an initial speed 5М in the barrel of such a gun when shot reaches 30 thousand g”

        Well yes. Where is the article about the notorious Zumwalt? This very railgun is intended for it instead of 2 conventional "howitzer" barrels of 155 mm, which also throw guided projectiles at 100 km. And the power plant of the Zumwalt is just on the "electric transmission", that is, the ship's engine drives the electric generator, and it powers the electric motors of the propellers, radar and other energy-intensive consumers, including in the "future" railgun and combat lasers, which are still able to burn a sheet of thin sheet metal. automotive steel in general (0,6mm).

        a miracle with such powerful power can only be used on ships specially equipped with high power transmission networks.
        Now there are only two of these in the US Navy - Svolvt and a ship in the photo
        They say another carrier can. For the rest, a serious alteration is needed.

                      At 1135 two twin artillery towers. There are mechanics and optics. it’s enough for shooting and it’s better than being a fully floating target. For safe navigation, there are signal men with binoculars and other things. The ship does not lose all combat readiness - remember this. I’ll tell you more - in the BIP (combat information post) there are all the conditions and the preparation of the crew for manual work, that is, calculations should be done with a pencil, special rulers, graph paper, and other tools. This suggests that with a loss of electricity supply, Soviet-designed ships remain combat-ready. And yes, the shells are delivered manually, there is nothing to worry about, we were taught this. And not only that, much more.

And the Americans in Hollywood will stupidly make a film, like the brave sailor Andrew Jackson, reflecting the attack of the insidious Martians (evil Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Koreans Kim Jong-un-necessary to emphasize) crawls to the gun tower, opens the breech of the gun with his teeth, throws the shell out of the wounded hands, visually the trunk to the enemy ship (starship, plane, Kim Jong-un-yacht-underline) and voila. The projectile strives for the target and hits the World Evil. The president gives the hero the order of the Purple Heart, the nurse immediately takes off her bra, a happy ending.

                  It is much easier to back up power supply for devices such as elevators, etc., than backing up the main power plant. But, it is strange that the dispute in this direction has escalated. Damage to the main equipment in any complex means the termination of functioning. Tomahawks still have a chance to launch, and the railgun is not at all the main weapon. Is this a gadget with a tungsten needle supposed to hit objects at a distance of 100 km? Calculate the flight time. Estimate the loss of speed (kinetic energy). Evaluate the striking effect of breaking through the target's hull (if it does hit, and aiming at a point beyond the horizon). Please note that adjusting the flight to the target is excluded. And then we have: 1) the target is large, low-maneuverable at a long distance, must be struck by an absolutely precise hit of the "needle" in the head of its commander wassat
                  2) a small-sized fast target (highly maneuverable but for which a needle wound is mortally dangerous) must be absolutely accurately accompanied by sighting equipment.
                  Miracles happen. Bismarck and Hood began the battle barely seeing each other. Gunners of Bismarck were more successful, hit the first salvo of the main caliber. So, look what kind of caliber they had so important!

                      Theoretically, if Bismarck, as you say, would "spit" from the railgun with blanks of 100-150-200 mm, then believe me, the effect of Hood's defeat would be much greater due to the dynamic impact than what was actually which neither armor nor active means of protection can save.

                        This is debatable. Ship hashes had a supply of explosives, because a simple blank even after breaking through the armor did not cause serious damage.
                        Now about the hypersonic needle. Yes, it’s for the needle, because this is the very advantageous aerodynamic form.
                        It does not contain explosives and deals damage according to the physical formula, where the energy depends on the loss of speed per unit of time. Despite the fact that modern ships do not have armor. What is the probability of getting into a critical part of the ship?

                        Key Feature MMRRWS lies in the possibility of using hypersonic controlled high-explosive (compression) shells of air blasting

                        With the help of such ammunition, ships will be able to intercept enemy missiles, as well as destroy enemy aircraft. At Atomics, guided projectiles for electromagnetic weapons are called “Shot” (similar to cartridges for smoothbore guns), since inside each of them there are many tungsten balls. Additionally, guns can hit ground and surface targets kinetic strokes.

                        Believe it, or will you carry out a simple calculation yourself? With the declared power of the railgun and the initial speed of the blank, the weight of the projectile ("blanks" aerodynamic mold and its pallet) should be less than 7 kg. The density of tungsten is about 19 kg / dm3. Estimated tungsten volume is 0.3 dm3. Which form do you choose? In one case, there will be a strong drag and a quick loss of speed, in the other, friction and heating will be more pronounced (and the blank is no longer cold). At 1600 g C tungsten becomes plastic (I’ll remind you of the snot). You can plug a hole in the board with your finger winkwhen the edges have cooled.

                    The railgun will fire once either 2 or 3. How many CAT-so many shots. He has a charge in the condors.

                      The Zumwalt itself, in principle, is not an battleship, an ordinary electric ship, the superstructure is generally carbon-balsa, so that the center of gravity does not shift upward. "Glows" from its powerful radar, although for some reason it is cut in stealth. This is a "coastal shelling" ship, in this form it is defenseless against a powerful coastal defense. He may not even resist Somali pirates if he tries to attack their coast alone. So, he has a railgun and how many times he fires it makes no sense. Probably railgun has a practical value, I can not judge.

              The question is fundamentally true, you can send to hit a heavily supported enemy tank f15 with a proof bomb and risk losing $ 70 million at once, or you can send a cheap helicopter with 2-3 helpfiles and risk $ 2-3 million, the efficiency is the same - the tank will be hit, the cost is different . So here, you say that zircon is better because further and more precisely, I do not argue, and why not immediately with Satan? there charge in general a bunch of megatons for accuracy do not care and flies much further.

                The question is fundamentally true, you can send to hit a heavily supported enemy tank f15 with a proof bomb and risk losing $ 70 million at once, or you can send a cheap helicopter with 2-3 helpfiles and risk $ 2-3 million, the efficiency is the same - the tank will be hit, the cost is different .

                That is why we are building frigates and corvettes of different displacement in a modular manner. The range of the railgun declared 100 km ... The question is, what commander of the sane mind and solid memory will admit to this range of adversary? And the second question: What is the use of railgun in general, it can be, if most missile anti-ship systems (including coastal systems) in the world are far-reaching at times? That is, it turns out that the railgun is sharpened to perform tasks against a party that does not have such systems in principle. I'm not talking about energy costs of this weapon and controversial efficiency today. In other words, today, an 100 mm caliber electromagnetic gun is the same as a laser capable of shooting down hyper-speed targets, that is, fairy tales from the Vienna woods.

                  The armament on the ship is intended not only to destroy another naval group. This also includes a range of tasks to support landings, land grouping, and attacks on coastal targets of the enemy. In the coastal strip up to 40 km, active shells can also be used, gas-generating shells (although not rockets, but they are also not cheap), but what to use at a distance of 40-200 km? now it’s just rockets or aviation. Railgun is just designed to fill this lower. And in any case, at the dawn of his birth, new technologies, as a rule, lose the more traditional ones, but this does not mean stopping there.

                      I don’t know for sure about the coalition and therefore I won’t argue. The figure of 40 km was taken from the characteristics of pzh2000 as a reference at the moment. As for the 150mm howitzer with regard to the coalition, I strongly doubt the possibility of a range of more than 50km only due to the propellant charge, most likely it is also active, which essentially makes it a missile thrown through the barrel, and again the question is the cost of such a shell, it not cheap. Amer’s video is not anime but quite imagined. We do not have such open materials, and therefore there are no topics for discussion on our part.

      If you start to understand the problem - a purely theoretical model. The practical component is zero. In the coming years. Throw tungsten pigs with unpredictable accuracy.

      The first step towards mobilizing new weapons was the delivery of 'Pulse Power Containers' (PPC) - huge cans of capacitors or batteries packed in standard ISO containers. Each container has enough power to unload 18 kW for each shot. To enable the railgun to fire ten such rounds per minute, the gearbox should recharge from the owner of the vessel in a matter of seconds and be able to store and discharge energy in a very short time while managing the heat load generated by the process. GE-AMS has already delivered a prototype gearbox for its weapon. Raytheon today announced the first shipment. Checkpoint units of the Navy L-3 Applied Technologies also plans to complete work on another version of the checkpoint during the year.

            The acceleration in the railgun is just smoother. than in conventional artillery systems. But the cost of ammunition, at least initially, will be significantly higher. But while all this is possible only in a stationary ground version. The energy of modern ships is barely enough for basic needs.

              Well here, in my opinion, everything is sort of crap.
              An 8-kg blank shell flies out at a speed of 7-8 max, flies 100 km and saves energy to break through something? can you believe in this nonsense? in order to get somewhere at such a distance, you need to have not a blank, but an adjustable projectile - this is a handful of electronics and mechanisms (we’ll postpone it in memory). In order to break through something (we have a blank and not an explosive charge), a projectile at a distance of 100 km must have some speed. A 125 mm shell weighing 8 kg from a cannon flies out at a speed of 1800 m / s is capable of flying 30-35 km, but for some reason a blank flying out of a railgun for some reason flies a hundred kilometers. What is she moving under other laws? Conclusion - in order for the disc to fly these one hundred kilometers plainly, it should fly out at a much higher speed, it should fly at a speed of at least 2 Mach, which means that the acceleration in the barrel will be smooth, but large enough. What will happen to a handful of electronics in the shell? And then this shell will still move in the air and bask. Well, a tungsten blank can withstand it, but that handful of electronics pressed by the lining?
              I think the lot of relganes, if of course they all come into service, shelling targets in the line of sight (well, providing air defense in the near zone for example), but about distances of one hundred km is ridiculous, at least for now.
              But with the speeds in the prototype of Artsimovich, everything is much more interesting-
              6-6,5 km / s is already essential, although again not every shell can withstand such acceleration, and it is unlikely to hit such a machine over long distances.

                Yes, if not vice versa. I can imagine such a bandura casting projectiles with a large number of explosives over long distances, possibly nuclear. And about the blanks in direct visibility - this is for tanks, not even for ships. And then the question of an adequate outlet generally remains open.

                  In order to throw a large projectile at a great distance, it must be dispersed in the barrel. the farther, the stronger the overclock. the stronger it is necessary to disperse, the greater the acceleration must be given to the projectile, which will lead to the destruction of the contents of the projectile, or it is necessary to increase the length of the barrel and the structure should become cyclopic, and energy consumption - beyond. no, only a small mass of a shell with space velocity over a distance that allows you to be sure that the shell will not burn in flight.

    The U.S. Navy will be taking its futuristic railgun from the lab, where it has been tested over the past eight years. Over the next two years, there will be electromagnetic guns held at open training grounds and ultimately at sea, where the futuristic electromagnetic gun will be able to demonstrate its full power to aim 50-100 nautical miles (92 - 185 km) from the hotel. The Navy is evaluating two electromagnetic railgun models. The 32-megajoule prototype is built by BAE Systems and the 32-megajoule Blitzer developed by General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS). The company also developed a 3-MJ railgun variant. In the future, the Navy plans to deploy a 64-megajoule rating railgun. A railgun can deliver a face to speeds greater than twice that of conventional guns. The use of electromagnetic energy, where the magnetic fields created by strong electric currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor between two rails, the railgun reaches a muzzle velocity of more than Mach 7,5 without the use of chemical rocket fuel.

          Hit rate - no more than 10% of the total ammunition consumption. Will we start building battleships again?)) At the same time, the firing range of a conventional (not active-reactive) projectile exceeds 50 km only in the case of a high ballistic trajectory, when part of the projectile’s movement occurs in rarefied atmospheric layers.
          These glazed up to 7 m (up to 2400 m / s)
          The speed of the projectile does not directly affect the accuracy of the hit. Another thing is that you can’t interfere and it’s unlikely to intercept. and accuracy ... In conventional tools, accuracy is improved by giving the projectile rotation in the rifled barrel. The railgun, as I understand it, is not capable of imparting rotation to the projectile.

      2. And what about all the battle distances in the video within the range of archery? If the fluff is extremely long-range, then it should be tested at this distance, at which it supposedly has unimaginable advantages. but, you know, not every meteorite with a much larger mass than a projectile can fly in dense layers of the atmosphere at space speeds over a distance of 100 km.

      All that can be easily done on the video is an ordinary tank gun, which is comparable in size to a railgun.

      Request:
      Ask BAE Systems how they will deal with the "firmware" (fly through)
      in any case, they do not need perenation, but the conversion of kinetic energy into heat (explosion)
      the surface target is not a tank, you can’t push it with a 10cm slotted hole.
      Maybe you do not know, but
      On February 21, 2008, the SM-3 missile was launched from the Lake Erie cruiser in the Pacific Ocean and, three minutes after launch, it hit 247 kilometers emergency reconnaissance satellite USA-193moving at a speed of 7 m / s .....
      "struck" ...
      EKV flashed USA-193 through, and if not for the "detonated" self-igniting fuel components (Aerozine 50 + N 2 O 4), or rather their remnants ...
      USA-193 would continue to fly in emergency mode (possibly in another orbit).

      US NAVI is silent about this result (like ATK)
      But the tungsten blank is not EKV, and the ship is not USA-193 (with its superdense layout) and there seems to be no UDMH with AT on it.
      Less dense refractory metal (or openwork type EKV)?
      And withstand:
      -acceleration
      - overcoming 1 atm n distance of 100 km, at 5-7M?
      - High explosive warhead again? And disperse, but what's the point then.

    In fact, all of these railguns you all see every day. Any electro-mechanical lock on the door is only the reverse. Already by discussion, it is clear that for a real, serial gizmo it is necessary: ​​1) a source of energy comparable to the exhaust (only tales about super tantalum capacitors are not needed, they also need to be charged), 2) the recharge time (and this is the most important) 3) well and range (the ballistic trajectory in this case does not work, as an experiment - yes, possibly.)
    Just recall the law of Lomonosov - Lavoisier has not yet been canceled.
    But in order to keep up, you need to make other devices, such as a microwave gun (yes, energy is also needed here and not small, but you don’t need to put this on the ship until there is thermonuclear energy. You can do with a stationary object with your own nuclear power plant) or something fundamentally new.

    Although railguns, for example, can disperse a projectile so well.

    I must disappoint you! You can endlessly disperse various lightweight shells - but you are not creating a sniper rifle or a PTO gun! A gun shell has some kind of mass (for example, 152-155mm. This is about 50 kg.) - BB and a shell for fragments (sometimes cassette) .You won’t run such a gun in a railgun, or these guns will drop below the baseboard, or the gun will turn into a monster cyclope. Here the article indicates a caliber of 100 mm. -but this is the diameter of the shell of the shell — what kind of core gauge (payload ) -question?

    The idea is of course interesting, promising. But what will they do if the power plant is covered? And in general, guns are no longer used in modern naval combat. So, firing a cover for an armored crew, shooting aiming at an horizon with an unmanaged blank is a dubious pleasure, well, if the current is large and a sedentary target.

    Corrections for wind, pressure, humidity, natural oscillations of the implement, etc.
    To hit a small-sized target with a blank you need a XNUMX% hit at the right point.
    In addition to the power plant, a cryogenic cooling system for electric magnets is needed, as currents in them reach tens of thousands of amperes.
    Capacitive batteries cannot be charged instantly due to resistance in the switching circuits, that is, again due to extra-large currents.
