DAHLGREN, Va. (Jan 30, 2012) Gary Bass, from the Naval Surface Warfare

Center in Dahlgren, Va., uses a crane to maneuver a 32-MJ version of the

Office of Naval Research-funded Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG) prototype

into place for government evaluation. The EMRG is a long-range weapon that

launches projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants and

is under development by the Department of the Navy for use aboard ships.
