Systems Engineering a Naval Railgun
نویسنده
چکیده
An effective systems engineering process will provide the framework to enable the complex technical endeavor of railgun system design and development to transition from a set of research projects to a viable acquisition program. The detailed formulation and application of the railgun systems engineering process will be defined by government acquisition agents and the selected private sector contractors in accordance with United States (US) Department of Defense policy and regulation and in keeping with best systems engineering practices. Three factors that are critical to the success of the US Navy’s Railgun Program include integrated product teams, risk management, and early systems engineering planning and commitment.

Senior Honors Thesis
Railguns promise to make space travel and weapons systems much more efficient for the future. I conducted a project to skim the surface of railgun physics and design. I first started by constructing a small railgun as a proof-of-concept. I then delved deeper into the physics of operation by measuring and modeling the magnetic field associated with the operation of the device. The model railgun ...

متن کاملInhomogeneous Effects of Temperature Change on the Velocity of Railgun in Three Dimensional Condition
In the Railgun which is used to accelerate objects, electrical energy is used to drive the system. In order to reach hypervelocities, a power supply with immense amount of energy must be used which causes an extra ordinary current on the rail and the armature. This current makes thermal energy by the ohmic attenuation and warms up various points and therefore changes the electrical, thermal and...
متن کاملA novel fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methodology based upon the spherical fuzzy sets with a real case study
The choice of roll stabilization system is critical for many types of ships. For warships where operational activities are fast and the concept of time is very effective, determining the most appropriate of these systems is of particular importance. Some operations, such as the landing of the helicopter on board, are critical for naval ships. Unwanted rolling motion makes this difficult. In add...
