Power Supply Options for a Naval Railgun
Stephan Hundertmark, Oliver Liebfried
Large railguns require powerful power supply units. At the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL) most experimental railguns are driven by power supply units based o…
Developing a Launch Package for the PEGASUS Launcher
S. Hundertmark, G. Vincent, D. Simicic
Railguns are capable to far exceed the muzzle energies of current naval deck guns. Therefore one of the most promising scenario for the future application of railguns in naval warf…
Simulating the Diffference between a DES and a Simple Railgun using SPICE
S. Hundertmark
A DES railgun increases the launch efficiency when compared to a simple railgun setup. In a NGSPICE-simulation a DES and a simple railgun setup connected to an existing 10-MJ capac…
A Scenario for a Future European Shipboard Railgun
Stephan Hundertmark, Daniel Lancelle
Railguns can convert large quantities of electrical energy into kinetic energy of the projectile. This was demon- strated by the 33 MJ muzzle energy shot performed in 2010 in the f…
Experiments to increase the used Energy with the PEGASUS Railgun
Stephan Hundertmark, Markus Schneider, Dejian Simicic +1
The French-German Research Institute (ISL) has several railguns installed, the largest of these is the PEGASUS accelerator. It is a 6m long, 4x4 cm2 caliber distributed energy supp…
