Summary

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (Jan. 31, 2008) Adm. Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), attends the electromagnetic (EM) railgun live-fire demonstration at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren. The weapon, currently under development, may provide a capability for sustained, offensive power-projection complementary to missiles and tactical aircraft. According to NSWC Dahlgren, EM railguns may be a cost-effective solution to fire support requirements because of their extreme long range, short time-of-flight and high lethality.
