China has successfully broken through electromagnetic cannon technology, which is beyond the reach of the United States. Since the 80s of the last century, electromagnetic technology has been the frontier development direction in the military field in the manufacture of kinetic energy killing. The electromagnetic cannon has been widely disseminated and has become a kind of "fantasy equipment". Although the United States had invested a lot of efforts in this area, it failed to make a breakthrough and was eventually forced to give up. Today, however, China has done it. Next, let's take a look at how China's electromagnetic cannon has achieved a technological breakthrough, which is also a problem that the United States has been unable to overcome. According to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, China has successfully verified an electromagnetic railgun prototype, breaking through the technical problems that once plagued the United States. After such shells can be accelerated by electromagnetic tracks, it is possible to fire 120 shells in a row, and the firing range reaches 100-200 km. For comparison, the strike range of conventional artillery shells is only a few tens of kilometers.
After high-intensity firing tests, the entire system remained intact and comparable to the life of the active gun. In such a continuous firing process, the electromagnetic gun also maintained a high firing accuracy. This means that modern warfare is shifting from chemical power to electromagnetic power, and the continuous rate of fire is a key indicator of the power of the electromagnetic gun system. China's breakthrough in this field means that the electromagnetic cannon firing system can be fired reliably, quickly and continuously, marking China's absolute leading position in this field. So, the United States has always been keen to engage in an "arms race", why is it mediocre in the field of electromagnetic guns?For a long time, countries have faced many technical problems in the field of electromagnetic guns. Although the electromagnetic cannon can theoretically achieve a discharging speed and strike distance that cannot be achieved by conventional artillery, and is regarded as a game-changer for the rules of war**, it is not easy to achieve this theory.
The U.S. Navy had invested a lot of money and energy in the field of electromagnetic guns, and spent decades of research results, but in 2021 it announced that it would abandon and devote more energy to the field of hypersonics. According to the data, the main reason for the United States to abandon the electromagnetic gun is that it cannot achieve anti-firing and does not malfunction, especially when it is fired at a high level, the orbit is burned severely, and the strike has to be changed when it is fired. China's success in breaking through the technical difficulties of electromagnetic guns and applying them to real combat will completely change the rules of modern warfare. In the two years since the United States terminated its electromagnetic cannon program, China has also made no progress, raising fears that China may also be in a difficult technological situation. However, it turns out that China has succeeded in realizing a "pipe dream" that the United States considers unattainable. China's success in breaking through the technical problems of electromagnetic guns is due to the application of AI technology.
According to reports, China's success in the field of electromagnetic guns is largely due to a complex set of measurement and diagnostic systems. The system can simultaneously collect and analyze data from about 100,000 test points on the electromagnetic railgun, which is 10 times the number of sensors in modern aircraft. With this system, Chinese scientists can find out the problem in the first place and make the electromagnetic gun more practical through continuous testing. Using AI technology, they were able to shorten the time it takes to find and resolve issues, and even allow the system to repair itself. This sophisticated and ingenious system saved the electromagnetic gun prototype in at least 3 tests and successfully fired 50 shots in one test without any failures. Electromagnetic guns are of great significance in actual combat and can rewrite traditional combat rules.
Its firepower projection economy and high-energy characteristics can greatly reduce the cost of traditional type, increase the range of traditional type, and reduce the complexity of traditional. The electromagnetic cannon destroys the target by relying on huge kinetic energy, and the main consumable is electrical energy, which greatly reduces the cost of its use compared with traditional chemical energy, the dependence on support support is low, the maintenance support is cheaper, and the continuous combat capability and independent combat capability are greatly improved. Therefore, the actual combat application of electromagnetic guns will completely rewrite the rules of modern warfare and become the key direction of the development of various military powers. The electromagnetic cannon is a kind of ** system equipped on battleships, which does not need to use traditional gunpowder cartridges, which allows the battleship to have a significant increase in loading space, while also increasing the amount of ammunition carried and reducing the overall weight. This is essential to improve the combat capability of the sea and air.
If the Fujian ship, which is about to be put into service by the Chinese Navy, can be equipped with electromagnetic guns, it will be of great significance for speeding up national defense construction and consolidation. To sum up, a major breakthrough in China's electromagnetic artillery technology is of great significance for national defense construction.
