European Partners Launch THEMA Consortium for Advanced Electromagnetic Artillery System
The project “TecHnology for ElectroMagnetic Artillery” (THEMA) will maturate electromagnetic gun critical components, notably the pulsed-power supply, the electromagnetic railgun and the hypervelocity projectile. It will offer a hypersonic interceptor with enhanced precision and lethality to defeat the main challenging threats. Electromagnetic gun is expected to complement other defensive means like missiles and guns, and could be adapted to various naval platforms and land permanent air defence systems.
