Railguns deliver muzzle velocities up to twice those of conventional guns, resulting in shorter time to target and higher lethality at greater range with no propellant required onboard the platform. Railguns offer much deeper magazines and lower cost per engagement compared with missiles of comparable range.
- Shorter time to the target and extended range
- Lethality without high explosives
- Multi-mission capability
- Elimination of propellant – smaller rounds, enabling many more stowed rounds, improved safety and reduced logistics burden.
- Lower cost – than current assets for integrated air and missile defense.
- Higher fire power
- Reduced Asymmetry

Because of its scalability and
modularity, the land-based mobile Blitzer railgun system can be
configured in a stand-alone caravan for mobility on the battlefield.
Transported by existing military vehicles, Blitzer can defend against
missiles and enemy launchers.
It integrates into existing BMC2 and radar systems, tracking multiple inbound threats, establishing a firm track for fire control handover. Outbound projectiles are tracked and guided to compute the fire control solution from organic radar sensor data to assure maximum firepower. Each round receives guidance data during flight, allowing the warhead to deploy at the optimum time. By adjusting flight trajectories, enemy targets can be eliminated by several simultaneous impacts.
Blitzer railguns provide a game-changing, multi-mission solution, with reduced operation and support costs due to elimination of propellant and the associated logistics tail.
