摘要：

Electromagnetic gun projectiles have traditionally been launched with base-pushing armatures. For anti-armor purposes, it is necessary to launch long-rod configurations that are generally incompatible with base-accelerated launch. While mid-pushing sabot technology is well-established for conventional gun launch, mid-pushing armature technology is only now being developed. Ongoing research is addressing the concept of mid-pushing plasma armatures in large-bore rail guns. A combination of testing and analysis has attempted to answer questions concerning the stability of multiple arcs within annular plasma armatures, and Lexan projectiles have been launched with mid-pushing annular plasma armatures to obtain data on armature performance, muzzle voltage and B-dot traces. In addition, steel, flight-configured projectiles have been launched with mid-pushing aluminum sabots.
