Shots 28 to 32 were fired without bore maintenance between the five consecutive shots to gauge the eventual multishot operation of the CCEMG launcher. During shots 33 to 39, launcher IIA was subjected to maximum stress levels by increasing the initial capacitor charge voltage and the resultant peak current delivered to the launcher. Consequently, shot 39 demonstrated the highest performance with a peak current of 766 kA as well as the highest muzzle current at 384 kA. However, since the launcher was not designed to withstand this level of force at the muzzle, substantial structural deformation and rail wear at the muzzle were observed afterwards. At the conclusion of the test, it was determined that launcher IIA was rendered unusable due to the resulting damage, and the remaining flatjack was pressurized to failure to determine its upper design limit. The flatjack reached a pressure ceiling of 30 ksi without failure, but the pressurization stopped shortly afterwards to prevent damage to the augmenting rails, which was salvaged for reuse. Upon the disassembly of launcher IIA, several cracks in the sidewalls were observed, likely due to stress concentration. However, the rail bonds and the aluminum-coated rail bore surfaces sustained very little damage.

contact with the rail at two distinct places. The launch package was also calculated by EXCaliber to have a total mass of 180 grams, which was evenly split between the armature and the sub-projectile. Other design choices included the incorporation of ceramic sidewalls, internal preloading, and chromium copper rails. For the ILP, the Kaman Science Corporation designed the launch package to operate at a launch velocity of 1,850 m/s to meet the penetration at range requirement, resulting in a peak axial acceleration of 2.06 x 10 m/s or 210,000 g's. The pulsed power supply (PPS) for the CCEMG launcher was composed of eight banks, each of which was nominally 200 kJ at a rated maximum charge voltage of 10 kV. As the CCEMG launcher's power supply, the air-core compulsator weighed 2,045 kg and stored 40 MJ at 12,000 rpm. At the conclusion of the CCEMG program's development process, two single-shot railguns (known as CCEMG launchers IIA and IIB) and a water-glycol cooled, rapid-fire railgun (CCEMG launcher III) were built. The only listed difference between launchers IIA and IIB from launcher III was that launcher III possessed coolant passages to cool the rail sets between salvos and a deceleration guide required for

electrical testing in order to determine whether the flatjacks had an effect on bore straightness, which indicated the integrity of the adhesive bonds between the rails and the sidewall as well as the symmetry of the structural preload. The bore straightness changed very little even after the 11th shot, deviating from a straight line by at most 0.2 mm, suggesting that either a uniform amount of axial strain was being applied to the structure or that the flatjack axial strains had minimal effect on the structure. Launcher IIA demonstrated its highest performance on shot 7, which had a peak current of 552 kA. During the last shot, testers found an insulation flaw within the launcher. As a result, modifications were made to the electrical insulation design of launchers IIB and III, such as the thickening of the

between the main and augmenting rails of the railgun. The flatjacks countered the electromagnetic loading and applied pressure to the main rails so that the ceramic sidewalls (made of AD-96 alumina) remained in compression throughout the discharge. They were required to be pressurized to 138 MPa for a full current shot and had to endure a displacement of about 1.3 mm. The filament-wound composite overwrap, composed of 82 percent graphite fibers and 18 percent fiberglass, reacted the preload and provided stiffness to the launcher in the axial direction. The rails were made out of chromium copper due to its strength (310 MPa yield),

system, and determining the necessary parameters for the pulse power system. Multishot testing took place with incremental increases in system energy in subsequent tests. A total of six single shots were fired for this trial, of which the sixth shot demonstrated the highest muzzle energy with 279 kJ. The results showed no damage to the rail or sidewall of the launcher with the exception of minor arc erosion caused by the last shot.

optimization algorithm determined that the minimum breech energy demand occurred at 1.85 km/s launch velocity and that the breech energy demand for one-turn (simple rail) designs increased at a higher rate than two- or three-turn (augmented) designs as launch velocity increased. The results from EXCaliber also concluded that a rectangular bore cross-section provided a higher launch efficiency than a round-bore design.
909:, MD. The launcher was powered by a 1.55 MJ capacitor-based pulsed power supply composed of eight banks, each of which could be charged to different initial voltages and be triggered independently in time. Throughout testing, muzzle velocity was measured using various techniques, such as by recording the time rate of change of the armature's in-bore induction field. Other methods included the use of a 209:
EXCaliber (short for Electromagnetic eXperimental Caliber) was developed to take into account details surrounding armature and barrel structural and thermal design requirements as well as analyze the impact of different launch environment conditions on power supply size and mass. The equations governing armature and barrel design were coded into a
61:(82 percent IACS), relatively low cost, and dimensional stability. The main rails were slit transverse to the launcher's axis to the midpoint of the ceramic wall in order to achieve a breech efficiency (kinetic energy of the armature divided by the energy delivered to the breech of the gun) of 50 percent. 924:
The launcher fired a total of 39 shots at APG, where shots 1 to 9 focused on component characterization, shots 10 to 16 focused on armature development, shots 17 to 27 focused on launch dynamics, shots 28 to 32 focused on pseudo multishot capabilities, and shots 33 to 39 focused on peak performance.
