Description
ASELSAN Inc. has been conducting experimental research on electromagnetic ( EM) launch technologies since 2014. First-generation 1-MJ and second-generation 3.25-MJ pulsed power supplies (PPSs) were built and tested with 25 mm x 25 mm square bore EM Launcher-1 (i.e., Elektromanyetik Firlatma Yolu- 1: EMFY-1) EM Launcher at an open area test range by ASELSAN. In 2018, ASELSAN built an EM launch laboratory to perform experiments up to 2-MJ muzzle energy. The stored energy of the second-generation PPSs will be increased to 8 MJ, and the new 50 mm x 50 mm square bore EMFY-2 and 50 mm x 75 mm rectangular bore EMFY-3 EM launchers will be used. We present the ASELSAN EM Launch Laboratory and the results of the first EMFY-2 EMlauncher shoot fed by 3.25-MJ PPS at the laboratory.
