Navy orders rail gun battery system fron K2 Energy Solutions: An intermediate energy storage battery system for the U.S. Navy's electromagnetic rail gun is to be designed and engineered by K2 Energy Solutions Inc.
The energy storage system is a major component in the electromagnetic rail gun system, powering capacitor bank modules that are used to launch a projectile at a very high rate of speed.
The order for the battery system comes under an $81.4 million contract that was awarded to the company last summer by the Naval Sea Systems Command.
