<br />
<i><span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Mil.tiexue.net</span>  report that</i> Chinese scientist has built a full-size prototype of electromagnetic 
catapult. The catapult has passed all the tests and have to be tested 
when it is installed on an aircraft carrier.<br />
China’s electromagnetic catapult is much more powerful than steam 
catapult in being able to help heavy AEW&C aircraft take off.<br />
Ma Weiming, the head of the team that has won a top national award 
for the invention, told reporter in an interview China does not lag 
behind the US in the development of electromagnetic catapult as the US 
began its project of such catapult in 2009 while China had built a 
prototype to prove the theory in 2011. Ma believes that China’s 
electromagnetic catapult is as good as US one and more advanced in some 
areas.<br />

AN ELECTROMAGNETIC ARMS RACE HAS BEGUN: CHINA IS MAKING RAILGUNS TOO

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b>Chinese Railgun</b> This early Chinese railgun or coilgun (pre-2005) 
is part of Chinese electromagnetic research, which began in the 1980s. 
While railguns are relatively simple to build, the difficulty lies in 
scaling them up, as well as making the barrel durable enough for 
multiple firings. <i><span style="color: blue;"><b>Chinese Internet, via Strategy Center</b></span></i><br />
<br />
A Chinese defense contractor may be on its way to key breakthroughs in railgun weaponry.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/bae_railgun_graphic.png?itok=0RU6e6aA" height="258" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/bae_railgun_graphic.png?itok=0RU6e6aA" width="640" /><br />
This BAE graphic illustrates the basic principles behind railgun 
technology, as well as its advantages (high launch speed and range, 
affordability, high firing volume). Chinese railguns on the Type 055A 
destroyer would likely have such similar characteristics. <i><span style="color: blue;"><b>BAE</b></span></i><br />
<br />
Railguns are one of the potential game-changing weapons of future war. 
Instead of using the power of chemical explosives such as gunpowder, a 
railgun uses electromagnetic force to propel projectiles to hypersonic 
speeds, potentially up to ranges of several hundred miles. A railgun's 
barrel has two parallel conducting rails built into it. When a moving 
armature (usually the projectile) is inserted into the barrel, it 
connects the parallel rails to complete the current, thus generating an 
intense electromagnetic field. The projectile then accelerates out of 
the barrel at high speeds.<br />

applied electromagnetic launch (including technologies like railguns and
 EMALS catapults).<br />
<br />
These new class of weapons are considered by the US Navy to be a key 
technology for meeting 21st century warfighting needs, most notably in 
plans for countering China's military growth. Until now, the tech have 
been primarily a US dominated space; the U.S. Navy for example will test
 a railgun on the USNS Trenton starting in 2016. This seems to be 
changing.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/7th_chinese_eml_conference.jpg?itok=TAJ0LUg7" height="479" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/7th_chinese_eml_conference.jpg?itok=TAJ0LUg7" width="640" /><br />
<b>7th Chinese Electromagnetic Technology Conference</b> At the 7th 
Chinese Electromagnetic Technology Conference in Oct 2015, Chinese 
scientists presented advances in key railgun technologies, such as 
toughened barrels to allow for rapid railgun firing in combat 
conditions. <b><i><span style="color: blue;">CASIC</span></i></b><br />
<br />
The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has 
reported online that its 206 Institute, which researches electromagnetic
 launch technologies, has made breakthroughs in electromagnetically 
launch boosted missiles and railguns designed for close in weapons 
systems (CIWS). This follows the 206 Institute's hosting of the Seventh 
Chinese Electromagnetic Technology Conference in Oct 2015, which also 
reported advances in material sciences to reduce railgun barrel wear 
(while railgun technology have been tested since 1918, power generation 
and the wearing out of the barrel are longstanding barriers to the 
deployment of militarily useful railguns).<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/wuhan_emals_hmmwv.jpg?itok=PvbKiokO" height="577" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/wuhan_emals_hmmwv.jpg?itok=PvbKiokO" width="640" /><br />
<b>Wuhan EMALS</b> This satellite photo shows a test facility at the 
Chinese naval research facility in Wuhan. Speculation is that it is the 
prototype for the Chinese EMALS catapult system, which would be equipped
 on future Chinese carriers (Type 002?). <b><i><span style="color: blue;">hmmwv at China Defense Forum</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Phoenix Television reported on a number of other related railgun 
research advances. An early November 2015 news broadcast stated that 
Chinese researchers have made breakthroughs in electromagnetic aircraft 
launch systems (EMALS) and railguns, in areas from power storage to 
tougher barrel materials. EMALS catapults could be installed on Chinese 
aircraft carriers in the next decade, improving the performance of 
Chinese naval aircraft. The Phoenix TV broadcast also suggested that the
 PLAN hopes to test its own operational railgun in the next couple of 
years.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/type_1130_ciws.jpg?itok=rjGNeD9U" height="403" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/type_1130_ciws.jpg?itok=rjGNeD9U" width="640" /><br />
<b>Type 1130 CIWS</b> The Type 1130 CIWS, with 11 30mm barrels, is the 
largest Gatling cannon in the world, firing up to 11,000 rounds a minute
 (that's nearly 200 rounds a second). Its designers say that it can 
shoot down 90% of incoming supersonic missiles. But it could be replaced
 by shipborne railguns, which would protect Chinese warships against 
future hypersonic threats. <b><i><span style="color: blue;">=GT at China Defense Forum</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Despite longstanding public conceptions of China only developing copycat
 weapons aided by intellectual property theft and espionage (such as the
 F-35 and J31 fighter jet similarity) , China's progress in developing 
new cutting edge military technologies like railguns actually reflects a
 deep investment in the field. Chinese scientists from civilian and 
military universities submitted the most papers at the Institute of 
Electrical and Electronic Engineers's 2014 Symposium on Electromagentic 
Launch in California, and China will host the upcoming 2016 Symposium as
 well.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2015/11/type_055_cgi.jpg?itok=7qbtCBPh" height="422" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2015/11/type_055_cgi.jpg?itok=7qbtCBPh" width="640" /><br />
<b>Type 055</b> The second batch of Chinese Type 055 destroyers will 
likely feature railguns, starting in the 2020-2025 timeframe. A 32 
megajoule railgun on the Type 055 destroyer would be able to launch a 
ten kilogram projectile over a 100 nautical miles away, with the impact 
energy of medium artillery. Railgun ammunition can be guided, and 
programmed to explode over a target, destroying soft targets like parked
 aircraft and missile launchers. <b><i><span style="color: blue;">lt.cdjby.net</span></i></b><br />
<br />
The likely use of the reported railgun in a close in weapons systems 
(CIWS) would be to defend Chinese warships and bases against not just 
conventional airplanes and missiles, but also hypersonic and ballistic 
missiles. But China's recent progress in railgun technology also points 
to their potential in the same long range fight role the US navy 
envisions (covered in the recent book Ghost Fleet). There have been 
online rumors that suggest that the second batch of Type 055 guided 
missile destroyers (potentially to be termed the Type 055A, following 
the naming pattern) will be armed with large railguns in the place of 
older 130mm cannons, for long range anti-surface and air defense 
warfare. The putative Type 055A destroyer class would likely be launched
 after 2020, and feature integrated electrical propulsion, for increased
 power generation to power railguns, lasers and advanced sensors.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/blitzer_railgun.jpg?itok=TwevvyTh" height="376" src="http://www.popsci.com/sites/popsci.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/blitzer_railgun.jpg?itok=TwevvyTh" width="640" /><br />
<b>Blitzer Railgun</b> The 10MJ General Atomic Blitzer railgun can be 
put on a mobile ground launcher, supported by two generator vehicles to 
power it. Future advances in power generation and storage could result 
in more powerful railguns, with ranges of hundreds of miles, replacing 
Chinese short ranged ballistic missiles. <b><i><span style="color: blue;">IHS JANES</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Just as a railgun was recently shown off at the US Army Association's 
national convention, the technology might also be based on land, where 
indeed the power generation issues are less challenging than trying to 
fit onboard a ship. Large Chinese railguns could also be placed on 
ground vehicles (similar to the General Atomic Blitzer) to provide 
mobility, concealed on Chinese territory while defended by A2/AD 
systems. The long range and accurate rapid fire capabilities of railguns
 would give the PLA a cheaper, higher volume of fire, and less risky 
alternative to current ballistic, cruise missile and air strikes in the 
Chinese arsenal.<br />
<br />
A railgun technology arms race seems to be happening, and it is 
something to keep a close watch. It could very well reshape what is 
possible or not in the Pacific security issues in the decades to come.<br />

<h1>
Electromagnetic Catapult More Advanced than US</h1>
<br />
Mil.huanqiu.com
 says in its report that according to Hong Kong Commercial Daily, 
China’s catapult for takeoff of carrier-based aircrafts is entirely 
problem free in technology.<br />
It is even better than that of the US.<br />
<br />
Outsiders are very much interested whether China’s first homegrown 
aircraft carrier will adopt ski-jump takeoff like that of the Liaoning 
or the most advanced electromagnetic catapult assisted takeoff. If the 
catapult is used, a carrier-based fighter jet may have much longer range
 and carry much more weapons.<br />
<br />
Major General Ma Weiming, the inventor of China’s electromagnetic 
catapult, pointed out that lots of practices have proved that there were
 no problems at all in China’s catapult technology. He is confident that
 the catapult can be used.<br />
General Ma has won quite a few National Science and Technology 
Progress Awards first class and is regarded by outsiders as a “national 
treasure” in military technology.<br />
<br />
At reporters’ repeated questions whether China’s homegrown aircraft 
carrier will use electromagnetic catapult, he pointed at the one star on
 his uniform and said with a smile that he was only a technical general 
in charge of research and development of the technology that can be 
used. Only PLA top management can decide which technology should be 
used.<br />

 report that international radio station Voice of Strait says in its 
report on March 11 that Sun Cong, a CPPCC (Chinese People’s Political 
Consultative Conference, China’s top advisory body) member who is chief 
designer of J-15 carrier-based fighter jet, disclosed to the station’s 
reporters in an interview that China’s next generation of carrier-based 
fighter jet may emerge before 2020.<br />
<br />
J-15 is China’s first generation of carrier-based fighter jet. It is a
 heavy fighter jet with twin engines.<br />
It emerged on aircraft 
carrier the Liaoning on November 25, 2012, much earlier than predicted 
by experts abroad. Sun says China is now training pilots for J-15.<br />
The 
major task for J-15 now is to obtain combat capabilities.<br />

<br />
Taipei, 2015/03/06 (CNA) <span style="color: blue;">A recently unveiled 
satellite photo showing China testing an aircraft carrier launch system 
has led experts to believe China has made a breakthrough in the design 
of its catapult system</span>.<br />
<br />
China's CCTV reported that <span style="color: blue;">the catapult 
being tested to help planes take off quickly is more efficient than the 
"ski-jump" ramp used to launch aircraft on China's first carrier</span>, the Liaoning.<br />
<br />
The report said the catapult enables aircraft to be launched quickly, upgrading their combat efficiency.<br />
<br />
Li Li (李莉), a military expert in China, said catapult takeoff device 
technology is currently dominated by the United States. But if the 
satellite photo is true, it means that China has "made a groundbreaking 
and strategic breakthrough" in aircraft carrier technology.<br />
<br />
Li said both steam and electromagnetic catapults are used to launch 
aircraft, with the United States the first country to use the 
electromagnetic launch system.<br />
<br />
Steam catapults have their limitations, Li said, while electromagnetic 
catapults enable planes to take off without worrying about weather 
conditions and are therefore more strategically significant.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">The recently unveiled satellite photo showed a catapult track and auxiliary experimental equipment</span>, which Cao Weidong (曹衛東), a researcher at the People's Liberation Army's Naval Research Institute, analyzed <span style="color: blue;">could be used as an experimental platform for steam and electromagnetic catapults</span>.<br />
<br />
He said China is developing catapults to promote the development of its aircraft carriers, explaining that <span style="color: blue;">the currently used ramp system cannot launch early warning fixed-wing aircraft</span>, restraining its combat capabilities.<br />
<br />
Cao said China will not only build an aircraft carrier, but also upgrade
 the ship's combat capabilities, including making use of a catapult, 
which has become the trend among aircraft carriers.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">If China has sufficient funds and the right
 technology, the aircraft carriers it manufactures will adopt 
electromagnetic aircraft launch systems, Cao said</span>.<br />
