Description
English: 120223-N-PO203-096 DAHLGREN, Va. (Feb. 23, 2012) A 32-MJ version of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) funded Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG). Engineers at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, Va., are currently testing the prototype launcher, built by BAE Systems, recently installed at a test facility in Dahlgren, Va. The test shots begin a month-long series of full-energy tests to evaluate the first of two industry-built launcher that will help bring the Navy a step closer to producting a next-generation, long-range weapon for surface ships. The new launcher brings advanced material and high-power technologies in a system that now resembles a large-caliber gun. (U.S. Navy photo by John F. Williams/Released)
