Electromagnetic Railgun Firing Hypervelocity Projectile @ Mach 7

Watch Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP) being demonstrated at U.S. Navy’s research labs. The HVP is a next-generation, common, low drag, guided projectile capable of completing multiple missions for gun systems such as the Navy 5-Inch, 155-mm, and future railguns. Types of missions performed will depend on gun system and platform. The program goal is to address mission requirements in the areas of Naval Surface Fire Support , Cruise Missile Defense, Anti-Surface Warfare and other future Naval mission areas.
