A large-caliber railgun was developed to demonstrate the supersonic launch of 120 mm projectiles. A trade study that evaluated over 70 different railgun configurations and geometries resulted in the selection of a high-inductance-gradient, multi-turn configuration as the best overall choice. Subscale tests were performed on both the railgun and launch package configurations. A full-scale laboratory system was installed that included a dedicated high-current, large-caliber breech and gunline. A full-scale launcher was successfully tested to beyond the design conditions.
