The PL-01 was a Polish light tank concept created by OBRUM with support from BAE Systems, based on the Swedish CV90120-T light tank. [1] [2] The concept vehicle was first unveiled at the International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce on 2 September 2013, [3] but the project was scrapped in 2015.
A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high kinetic energy to inflict damage. [ 2 ]
The Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun is a long-range naval weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph to 5,600 mph. Electricity generated by the ...
“The railgun is, for the moment, dead,” said Matthew Caris, a defense analyst at Avascent Group, a consulting firm. Navy ditches futuristic railgun, eyes hypersonic missiles Skip to main content
The Panther KF51 (KF is short for German "Kettenfahrzeug" lit. ' tracked vehicle ') is a German fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT) that is under development by Rheinmetall Landsysteme (part of Rheinmetall's Vehicle Systems division).
Electrothermal-chemical (ETC) technology is an attempt to increase accuracy and muzzle energy of future tank, artillery, and close-in weapon system [1] guns by improving the predictability and rate of expansion of propellants inside the barrel.
In cracking what a giant futuristic tank would sound like, Aadahl noticed there was a void in the tread of the tank. Edwards explained the wheels were not connected to anything — it was almost ...
According to the French-German state research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL), MGCS is to result in a future land warfare system which may include uncrewed, including autonomous ground and aerial vehicles, and crewed assets in the light, medium or heavy weight class as well as associated weaponry.
