As the New Year approaches, various industries have started New Year's greetings. In the circle of military fans, there was once such a sentence: Every year during the Chinese New Year, all units of the People's Liberation Army will "sell miserably" together and take out all kinds of ancient weapons, as if to indicate that our life is very difficult now, and we must get more money next year. Unlike other armies, Huaguo's army has always been full of self-confidence, and at the end of the year, it will always show off its strength with its own army.
Recently, the official Weibo of "* Company" issued a meaningful message: "Say hello first, this cannon has often appeared in front of the public recently." "Many people speculate that this time the ** company is likely to give the electromagnetic cannon to military enthusiasts. Because the company has very limited information, we are just guessing now.
In fact, China's leading industrial group is mainly engaged in high-efficiency anti-personnel artillery, and it has also had a certain layout in electromagnetic guns. Compared with conventional cannons, electromagnetic guns do not have the energy density of chemical fuels, and the firing power can be precisely controlled by electricity**. In principle, electromagnetic artillery has the advantage of high hit rate, especially in maritime operations, it can realize long-range and precise attacks on sea and air targets, and achieve long-term and continuous high-speed suppression, which is of great significance for improving the combat effectiveness and air supremacy of ships.
China is relatively backward in the development of electromagnetic guns, and the United States is the first country to come into contact with electromagnetic gun technology. The U.S. experiment in this area was also not very successful, and was eventually suspended due to strategic planning and defense spending. Aside from the United States, Japan is the only country that has invested the most in electromagnetic guns. Last year, Japan's Ministry of National Defense's armament department announced the test-firing of a medium-diameter electromagnetic cannon in the ocean, and Japanese newspapers at the time declared it to be "the world's first aircraft carrier-class electromagnetic cannon." But this is not in line with the real situation, because we have already equipped an electromagnetic cannon on the "Ocean Mountain" in 2018, and a series of tests have already been carried out.
In recent years, China has made major breakthroughs in the field of marine electromagnetic cannon development, especially in the fields of advanced energy storage systems, alloy coatings resistant to extreme environments, complex control and monitoring systems, and large-scale continuous launch experiments. A lot of news says that PLA's electromagnetic cannon is about to be put into service. In the modification of 055, the electromagnetic gun is expected to be an important part of improving its anti-air and anti-ship performance.
We believe that the world's first real electromagnetic cannon will come out. It will break the position of the Chinese Navy in the field of future maritime warfare and lead a new scientific and technological change. Looking ahead, China's navy will certainly show a stronger strategic deterrent force.
