Small drones continue to evade the depth of defences since the final few seconds in an approach reduce the engagement challenge to something that is cruelly simple: a rifleman, a tiny target, and ...

Oh yes. I know I already did this. However, it was a long time ago with crappy looking graphs. I can do better. The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) ...

PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- Three employees of the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, or ARDEC, were awarded with a U.S. patent for their proof of concept work on a ...

An M777 155mm howitzer fires at Yuma Proving Ground's Kofa Firing Range. (Chuck Wullenjohn/U.S. Army) HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The U.S. Army is slated to begin evaluating a hypervelocity projectile for the ...

Suppose you throw some object near the surface of the earth. If the only significant force on the object is the constant downward gravitational force, we call this "projectile motion." Yes, that ...

The Office of Naval Research is getting ready to deploy their electromagnetic Railgun for testing for the first time next year. But what is a gun without ammo? The Hyper Velocity Projectile is being ...

Engineers in England have achieved nuclear fusion by firing a giant gun at a fuel sample. Researchers at First Light Fusion designed the method to be as simple as possible, and a viable alternative to ...

The projectile is fired using an electromagnetic design similar to a railgun, at insane speeds around 6.5 km/sec (23,400 km/h, 14,540 mph), or just under 19 times the speed of sound. It's aimed ...
