A group of Chinese navy engineers claim to have built an electromagnetic rail gun that can swiftly fire a multitude of projectiles without sustaining damage. There were older photos that China had mounted a full-sized railgun onto a navy ship. IF the China’s navy railgun breakthrough claims are true then China has a massive lead …
The U.S. Air Force announced today the B-21 Raider has started engine runs as part of its ground test program at Northrop Grumman’s Palmdale, California, facility. Engine testing is an essential milestone for the program as the world’s first sixth-generation aircraft continues on the path to flight test. A first flight in the next few …
The Chinese navy is reportedly testing the planet’s most powerful coil gun which can accelerate a 124kg projectile in a firing test to a speed of 700km/h in less than 0.05 seconds. It was the heaviest known projectile to be used in a coil gun experiment. A normal torpedo move at 58 mph and have …
The XM556 Microgun is smaller and lighter than some current 5.56mm belt-fed Squad Automatic Weapons currently on the market but with 4x’s the firepower.
Russia may only build about 24 Su-57 stealth fighters but they will receive hypersonic R37M missiles. The R37M anti-aircraft missile will have a range of 300-400 kilometers and a speed of mach 6. China has also been developing a large mach 6 anti-aircraft missile. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular …
China has been claiming it will adapt its aircraft carrier electromagnetic launch systems as rocket range extenders for systems placed on high plateaus in Tibet. China has claimed to have made progress on the electronics and power systems for aircraft carrier magnetic launchers. A Chinese land-based version of an aircraft carrier magnetic launcher already exists …
Photos tweeted from Dafeng Cao and many other appears to show that China has mounted a railgun onto a landing ship. Above – Type 072III landing ship tank (LST) Haiyang Shan, #936, would be the world’s first railgun-armed warship. Its small size and lack of combat features means that it will likely be used to …
There is a critical DoD need to explore potential new approaches of on-demand manufacturing through the concept of a flying missile rail (FMR). A new advanced monolithic aircraft typically requires 10-25 years to design, develop, and build. New technology concepts are subject to requirements and other processes which can render them programmatically unrealizable before the …
