 The Navy's latest Ordnance Launching Technology will be tested aboard a joint high-speed vessel in 2016. The test marks the first time an electromagnetic railgun will be used at sea. The railgun uses electromagnetic force to rapidly launch a projectile and will show how next-generation technology can add to naval warfighting. If you think about the capabilities of the electromagnetic railgun and the affordability of the system, now we have a system that is multi-mission. It can do ballistic missile defense, it can do cruise missile defense, it can do anti-air warfare defense, it can even do long-range strike to support our expeditionary forces. The railgun's projectiles store enough energy to destroy targets without requiring explosives. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake.
