Market Research Media Ltd announces a new market study Electromagnetic Railgun Market Forecast 2017-2022. Recent years have witnessed a series of successful electromagnetic railgun tests. The new military paradigm is emerging – military high energy lasers provide close range defense, railguns provide medium range attack and defense (effectively replacing missiles within 100 mile range), reserving cruise missiles for long-range attacks.
While the electromagnetic railgun technology had been pioneered by US Navy, the subject of deploying the electromagnetic railgun aboard the Army’s “Future Fighting Vehicle” had been raised at the recent Association of the United States Army’s annual conference held in Washington on Oct. 13-15 by BAE Systems officials presenting new technologies at the conference.
