Electromagnetic forces allow for the controlled and reproducible acceleration of projectiles. This can be applied for low speeds (a few hundred m/s) but also for very high speeds (above 10km/s). Such a capability opens up the opportunity to conduct studies on hyper speed impacts applied within the following fields:
- Defense: effects of impacts and physics of explosives
- Space: impacts of micrometeorites
This knowledge and know-how is available to customers who have specific needs to which ITOPP can respond by adapting pre-existing technologies and techniques or by creating a complete design, taking into consideration required performance standards, safety and ergonomics of use.
