Great, how many billions is this boondoggle going to cost us while invaders are streaming over the border and voting in our elections? I wish just one of these “gee whiz” weapons would prove operational in less than a generation. But I guess a military industrial complex generation needs their paychecks.
I don’t see that a gun like that would our-perform a missile. Especially nap-of-the-earth cruise missiles.
A ballistic (non-guided) path is VERY easy to track and calculate when the projectile originated. And answer with a hyper-sonic, nap-of-the-earth cruise response.
...unless the long-range projectile is also stealthy.
Placing it in the center of a 2000 mile border, 1000 miles to the right and 1000 miles to the left, could do wonders.
The cost of firing the weapon would be the advantage over a cruise missile.
RAP round ?
Just curious, what is the distance from South Florida to San Francisco?
Farther ,it’s on the Moon ,LOL
A big gun is a big target. The Chinese have missiles, too.
I think we call this a missile.
Sounds expensive, trying to outsmart Newton’s laws. Maybe stealthy drones could provide a platform.
This is nonsense.
There will never be a “gun” that shoots 1,000 miles and hits its target.
The system must be powered post-launch and maneuverable.
“We want to be able to hit moving targets and targets obscured by uneven terrain.”
LOL. Aliens travel here from faraway galaxies, and THEY can’t even hit a moving target! >8-p
Why not simply use smart rockets which have already been invented? Aren’t they cheaper?
Someone was on drugs when they wrote this. An effort to get to 100 nm would be significant.
