Hili kombora linaweza kumfikia Mrusi kutokea Marekani ndani ya saa moja. Imewachukua zaidi ya miaka kumi kuandaa hii teknolojia. Waafrika yetu macho....

The US Navy is testing an electromagnetic gun that can fire projectiles at six times the speed of sound.
Described as 'Star Wars technology' by researchers, these powerful missiles don't rely on chemical propellants and are fuelled by electricity alone.
Strong magnetic fields are created by electricity on the ship and a 'pulse power system' to sent propellants flying at 4,500mph.
The technology has previously been shown to penetrate concrete at 100 miles away.

The US Navy are testing an electromagnetic gun that can fire ammo at 4,500 mph
THE RAILGUN READY FOR WAR
An electric pulse is sent to the railgun which creates an electromagnetic force which releases the projectile at Mach 6, or 4,500 mph.
The immense kinetic energy generated by the hypersonic weapon is then transferred to the target on impact, obliterating it.
The electromagnetic force generated can be adjusted, depending on range of the target.

According to the ONR: 'The railgun is a true warfighter game changer.

'Wide-area coverage and exceptionally quick response will extend the reach and lethality of ships armed with this technology.
'A future weapon system at this energy level would be capable of launching a 100+ nautical mile projectile'.
The railgun was tested Dahlgren naval facility's new Terminal Range in Virginia.
The US Navy has been working on the gun with BAE Systems since 2005.
