Source summary

Develop a compact, modular electromagnetic launch system for Indian Navy vessels or bases that accelerates unmanned aircraft or mission payload projectiles without conventional rocket boosters or pneumatic catapults. The source requires direct-current electromagnetic acceleration, support for varied payload masses, safe shipboard operation and accommodation of limited deck space, available power and the marine environment. Detailed launch and weapon parameters are intentionally omitted.
