The Indiana Army Ammunition Plant was an Army manufacturing plant built in 1941 between Charlestown and Jeffersonville, Indiana. It consisted of three areas within two separate but attached manufacturing plants: Indiana Ordnance Works Plant 1 (IOW#1): (3,564.71 acres) made smokeless powder
In 1998, a 1,033-acre (4.18 km 2) parcel of land north of the firing line within the former range is operated as an air-to-surface gunnery/bombing range by the Indiana Air National Guard. [5] [6] As of 2014, Jefferson Range is used for UAV training, including tests of air-to-ground strikes. [6]
Furthermore, Hyperloop UPV started a collaboration with the Purdue University [4] [5] (Indiana, USA), and thanks to the help given by all the companies that decided to trust in the great potential of these students, they build the Atlantic II, a prototype resulting from the world's first transatlantic student collaboration in the history of the ...
Hyperloop pod competition test track. The Hyperloop Pod Competition was an annual competition sponsored by SpaceX from 2015 to 2019 in which a number of student and non-student teams participated to design—and for some teams, build—a subscale prototype transport vehicle in order to demonstrate technical feasibility of various aspects of the Hyperloop concept.
With this system, only the very back of the cannon's breech had to be reinforced against high firing pressures. Rheinmetall designed an anti-tank cannon using their "high-low pressure system" that fired a standard general-purpose high explosive (HE) 8.1-cm mortar bomb which had been modified to function as an anti-tank round with a shaped charge.
A clear disadvantage of the plasma cannon is its weight. Even a small plasma cannon with only the firepower of an air gun weighs about 20 kg (44 lb) (without current supply). A foot soldier thus could not carry a plasma cannon powerful enough to be useful. It would have to be mounted in a stationary position or on a vehicle.
