Abstract	The multimission electromagnetic launching system employs induction coilgun technology. The system is composed of a launcher, electromagnetic pulse power supply, control system, support equipment, and multiple launch packages. The goal of the system is to extend countermeasure decoy effectiveness and expand electromagnetic launch missions. A series of concept feasibility demonstrations were conducted in 2005 and 2006. Concept feasibility demonstrations for the launcher and pulse power supply were conducted in 2005. Launch package concept feasibility demonstrations for a countermeasure decoy were conducted in 2006. In 2007 and 2008, we developed and tested prototype propulsion coil technology to address tactical application capabilities. Results will be discussed for all series of demonstrations. Lockheed Martin MS2 has performed the system concept feasibility demonstrations and prototype testing with support from Sandia National Laboratories.
