The US Navy is still in the rail gun business and is getting more serious about developing the new technology. Recently the Navy signed a contract to develop a new prototype of a rapid-fire model, capable of firing 10 shots per minute.
The navy wants to see the technology mature by focusing on upgrading the auto-loading mechanism, thermal management system and also the pulsed power supply which helps to power each shot.
