Description

ASELSAN Inc. has been conducting experimental research on electromagnetic launchers since 2014. A 1 MJ Pulsed Power Supply (PPS) and 25 mm x 25 mm square bore 3 meters EMFY-1 Electromagnetic Launcher have been built at ASELSAN.
This paper represents results of the first experiments of EMFY-1 Electromagnetic Launcher with 1 MJ PPS and c-type aluminum armature. The pulse currents of the PPS modules are measured by Rogowski current probes. The muzzle voltage of the launcher is measured to analyze the contact quality between armature and the rails. The velocity of the projectile is calculated from the B-dot probes’ outputs.
