With weight ever decreasing, does anyone know if there has been/is a project on something like this: http://members.rogers.com/biglasers/continuous/abl.html ..intended to replace this? http://www.military.cz/usa/navy/weap...phalanx_en.htm A more likely scenario is that the big electrical power outputs of forthcoming hybrid gas turbine/electric power plants will be used to power 'rail guns', which could electromagnetically hurl projectiles at several times the velocity of powder guns. It would be logical to install these in different sizes for different purposes, including CIWS.
