dc.description.abstractDesign, analysis, and fabrication of two railguns with 90 and 30 mm bores utilizing a laminated containment structure are discussed. Laminations are insulated from each other by layers of sheet adhesive, and a composite overwrap is applied to the laminations for longitudinal stiffness. The 90 mm-bore gun is being fabricated for testing as the 9 MJ range gun. Performance specifications for the 90 mm-bore gun are 3.2 MA peak current, 4.0 km/s maximum velocity, and 12 MJ muzzle energy. The 30 mm-bore gun is a one-third scale version of the 90 mm-bore gun, built to develop construction techniques and verify performance. It is designed to be operated at 1 MA with a maximum muzzle energy of 400 kJen
