ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic launcher system for small diameter high velocity penetrator projectiles and larger diameter, slower projectiles is provided with a single high current pulse power supply. At least two bores of substantially different cross section are connected to the power supply. Augmentation conductors are utilized adjacent the larger diameter bore to achieve the desired acceleration of the large diameter projectile with a smaller root mean square current than used for the acceleration of the small diameter projectile to a desired high velocity.
