T-QUAD 22

Defense Products & Services T-Quad has patented a highly-efficient rail gun (Patent No: US 6,622,713 B1) Patented design uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate the round vice exploding and expanding gases in traditional weapons Electromagnetic propulsion enables a significant increase in velocity and effective range Ammunition round is accelerated by a coil system to a velocity of 5,000 m/s producing an effective range of 1.6 km Battery technology, which has historically been the limit... ing factor, has progressed to the point where the proprietary design is now commercially feasible T-Quad has demonstrated the feasibility of its design but has not yet built a working prototype T-Quad is currently evaluating funding sources to complete the prototype Video illustrating proof of concept available on T-Quad’s website www.tquad.com DoD has expressed significant interest in rail gun technology Office of Naval Research (ONR) is currently developing a ship based Electromagnetic Rail Gun (EMRG) that will have a range of nearly 20 times the current MK 45, 5-inch Naval Gun The ONR achieved a milestone December 10th, 2010 when it successfully conducted a world-record 33-megajoule shot of the Electromagnetic Railgun aboard Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren DivisionMore
