A
modular gun demonstrator—crafted by Applied Ordnance Technology
Inc. and Advanced Power Technology Inc.—was put through its
paces at the Navy’s Dahlgren division terminal test range.
Twenty-five successful shots were fired, officials said.
The modular gun demonstrator is being developed to provide the
U.S. military with a system to advance gun, projectile, propulsion
and ammunition technology. It is serving in several critical areas,
including large-caliber hypervelocity research and next generation
projectiles and propellants.
