For most of its history, artillery testing has been the core mission at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG).As artillery ...

PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- Three employees of the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, or ARDEC, were awarded with a U.S. patent for their proof of concept work on a ...

An M777 155mm howitzer fires at Yuma Proving Ground's Kofa Firing Range. (Chuck Wullenjohn/U.S. Army) HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The U.S. Army is slated to begin evaluating a hypervelocity projectile for the ...

Oh yes. I know I already did this. However, it was a long time ago with crappy looking graphs. I can do better. The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) ...

Master the fundamental techniques of classical mechanics to analyze and solve projectile motion problems with confidence. In this video, we break down key concepts such as kinematics, velocity, ...

In a previous post, I was trying to show that the range of a projectile depends on the launch angle. Yes, this isn't that too difficult to see in an introductory physics course, but how do you show ...

Engineers in England have achieved nuclear fusion by firing a giant gun at a fuel sample. Researchers at First Light Fusion designed the method to be as simple as possible, and a viable alternative to ...

The projectile is fired using an electromagnetic design similar to a railgun, at insane speeds around 6.5 km/sec (23,400 km/h, 14,540 mph), or just under 19 times the speed of sound. It's aimed ...

The Office of Naval Research is getting ready to deploy their electromagnetic Railgun for testing for the first time next year. But what is a gun without ammo? The Hyper Velocity Projectile is being ...
