Abstract
It is noted that significant advances in electromagnetic and electrothermal propulsion technology have been achieved in the past decade. These advances include increasing kinetic energy, producing and testing sophisticated projectiles, increasing energy density and storage, and reducing the overall size of the gun system. Continual changes in international environments require further advances in these technologies to support both military and commercial applications
