India’s Electromagnetic Railgun: The Future Of Artillery | Defence Dynamics
The Indian Army is exploring one of the most advanced weapon systems ever developed by DRDO, the electromagnetic railgun. During a visit to ARDE Pune, the Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Defence was briefed on this ambitious project. Unlike conventional artillery that relies on chemical propellants, a railgun uses powerful electromagnetic force to launch a solid projectile at hypersonic speeds of nearly Mach 6. With this programme, India joins a small group of nations working on operational railgun technology. While challenges remain in power generation and material durability, DRDO says key enabling technologies are already in place, with battlefield integration expected in the coming decade.
