Land-Based Railgun Combat Simulation
Because of its scalability and modularity, the land-based mobile Blitzer railgun system can be configured in a stand-alone caravan for mobility on the battlefield. Transported by existing military vehicles, Blitzer can defend against missiles and enemy launchers.It integrates into existing BMC2 and radar systems, tracking multiple inbound threats, establishing a firm track for fire control handover. Outbound projectiles are tracked and guided to compute the fire control solution from organic radar sensor data to assure maximum firepower. Each round receives guidance data during flight, allowing the warhead to deploy at the optimum time. By adjusting flight trajectories, enemy targets can be eliminated by several simultaneous impacts.Blitzer railguns provide a game-changing, multi-mission solution, with reduced operation and support costs due to elimination of propellant and the associated logistics tail.
