美国海军电磁导轨炮发展综述

与传统火炮相比,电磁导轨炮发射速度更高,可使用军舰燃料做为发射能源,不再需要发射药,因而导轨炮应用于舰载平台具有明显的优势。本文介绍了美国海军电磁导轨炮项目的研究现状,并对舰载电磁导轨炮发展中的脉冲电源、基础研究及材料技术、热量管理、弹丸设计及舰船集成等关键技术进行了详细分析。美国海军在舰载电磁导轨炮项目的研究中所采用的研究方法及取得的成果,值得学习和借鉴。

Progress in the development of US naval railguns

Compared with conventional guns,electromagnetic railguns can fire at higher velocities using fuel on ship as energy for launching and do not require gun propellant.These features lead to important advantages for railguns to be applied on naval ships.In this paper,present research situation of railguns program performed by US navy are introduced.Important technologies such as pulsed power,fundamental research and material research,thermal management,projectiles design and ship interfaces are discussed and an...
