What is the possibility of a railgun being employed on the MMU.
Any advantages and disadvantages?

A more capable power generation must be implemented on the engine side.
Mach 6 is faster than a cannon I believe, how much faster?
Fire rate; how many shots a minute?
How durable and reliable will it be?

I think laser weapons are better for jet fighters.

Sapan's muzzle energy: 1.3MJ = 1.300.000 J

Do you actually know how much more that is in comparison for example F-35's 20mm or A-10's 30mm?

An ECT autocannon, maybe. A railgun, no.

ECT has a high muzzle velocity, yet it is very similar to a normal gun. In fact I'm pretty sure standard barrels can be used in ECT guns. The difference is that is uses plasma to ignite the propellent. In addition to being able to fire high velocity rounds which contain a different propellent, they can also fire ordinary rounds. This makes them very practical. The only problem is that just like railguns they require an external power source.

A 7.62/51 NATO round has 3600 Joules, make the division.
You always have the option to gauge the gun down if not up. I didn't mention SAPAN in my question after all.

it needs at least <50% more speed and at best 2x more speed than its perfect

No need, more speed is damage to the gun. American have reached mach 10 and the gun litterally breaks. Mach 6 for a 10 kg projectile will go 100 Km. Enough if you ask me.

10 kg? Currently, a few hundred grams of bullets are being tested. We do not have an infrastructure that can launch a 10 kg bullet at 6 Mach speed.

from my calculations, Tubitak used 600gram projectile... and im 100% sure based on these infos..

In the end we will have to use something like that, are we going to use unguided bullets?

I heard that ROKETSAN had given up developing guidance system for these bullets. They said that such a thing was impossible.

 

[CAN_TR]

Of course, how do you want to guide such small projectiles which are moving with speeds of + Mach 6? And how should the guidencce kit survive the high speeds, muzzle energy, electricity etc.? The sparks coming out of the railgun are actually parts of the rail itself, the "barrel/rail life" is extremly short, therefore a lot of maintenance required.

ROKETSAN better wastes it's energy on hypersonic missiles.

I am not sure what guidance is needed at all, this is type fire and forget thing, targeting system is other matter, that is necessity.

Guidence of railgun projectiles would just slow it down, the whole idea makes no sense at all. With computers etc. you can calculate trajectory of your projectile and hostile target.

That what me logic tell to, more important thing is can this kind ow weapon work in some kind of burst mode.

Despite how some don't like Otokar /Koc they're doing good.

Turkey's first robotic laser hybrid welding system;
It is used in the design and development activities of TÜBİTAK SAGE.
Critical project studies are carried out with advanced production technology with a high energy level of 10 kW, where laser and arc welding are used together.
