Students assemble components of Virginia Tech's electromagnetic railgun pulse forming network at the university's Energy Conversion Systems Laboratory. Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) railgun experts have been advising Virginia Tech students and professors since 2011. "The experience the student gains at Virginia Tech working on relevant railgun work is directly applicable to the skill sets we need to transition this technology into a reality for the Navy," said Chris Reichart, NSWCDD Pulsed Power Branch head.
