Se trata de un arma dise\u00f1ada inicialmente para empleo naval, que puede destruir blancos hasta 125 millas de distancia, \u00a0con una velocidad inicial de hasta 4500 millas por hora. La principal ventaja de los proyectiles que emplea, es que son impulsados mediante el empleo de energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica, \u00a0por lo que al no existir propulsantes qu\u00edmicos, se elimina el riesgo que para los buques de Guerra constituye el almacenamiento de p\u00f3lvoras y explosivos, de uso en \u00a0los proyectiles convencionales. Adem\u00e1s, su bal\u00edstica terminal est\u00e1 dada por la energ\u00eda cin\u00e9tica que desarrolla \u00e9ste proyectil de alt\u00edsima velocidad, siendo innecesaria entonces la carga explosiva de las cabezas de combate. Otra gran ventaja, es que permiten una alta cadencia de fuego, ya que la misma solo depende de la disponibilidad de suficiente energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica. El RAILGUN es considerado un verdadero \u201cGame changer\u201d en lo que respecta a los sistemas de armas de artiller\u00eda de gran alcance, estim\u00e1ndose que entrar\u00e1 en servicio en 2025.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pi-BDIu_umo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The weapon can destroy targets up to 125 miles away without stockpiling ammunition and fire projectiles that go 4,500 miles per hour, <a class=\" x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/weapon-future-here-new-electromagnetic-railgun-can-destroy-targets-125-572205?rx=us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsweek<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>It can also break concrete from 100 miles away.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a class=\" x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onr.navy.mil\/en\/Media-Center\/Fact-Sheets\/Electromagnetic-Railgun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Naval Research<\/a>\u00a0website, these missiles are fueled solely by electricity and do not require the use of chemical propellants.<\/p>\n<p>The weapon uses magnetic fields framed by two rails to launch the projectiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing its extreme speed on impact, the kinetic energy warhead eliminates the hazards of high explosives in the ship and unexploded ordnance on the battlefield,\u201d the Office of Naval Research explains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignright\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0\/?ui=2&amp;ik=4439d4b758&amp;view=fimg&amp;th=15b3f7608731ca3b&amp;attid=0.1&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_15b3f6d2521c4229&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ9-F-CxZZDX4SYe5nQVY0Iub9l-B1JCRmYUoCVLubVERlLjVfjROsHKmY-AI1zBTOwbKAH7nqKayKjqdN4GaWaWNp_W8QhH_CCtREBtfaqC5qWA_4ro8gb3qM4&amp;sz=w944-h510&amp;ats=1491423915037&amp;rm=15b3f7608731ca3b&amp;zw&amp;atsh=1\" alt=\"Im\u00e1genes integradas 1\" width=\"426\" height=\"230\" \/>The Office of Naval Research posted its video on <a class=\" x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pi-BDIu_umo#action=share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a>, where it shows the cannon blasting away in various directions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It] will give our adversaries a huge moment of pause to go: \u2018Do I even want to go engage a naval ship?\u2019\u201d former\u00a0Rear Admiral Matt Klunder, then the chief of\u00a0Naval Research, told <a class=\" x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2014\/04\/electromagnetic-railgun-launcher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wired<\/a> back in 2014 when the Navy introduced plans to implement the weapon. \u201cFrankly, we think it might be the right time for them to know what we\u2019ve been doing behind closed doors in a \u2018Star Wars\u2019 fashion.
