Discussion of electromagnetic launcher systems

In this thesis, the aim is to show the effect of the theoretical parameters of electromagnetic launcher systems, whose importance in the defense industry is increasing day by day, by implementing the theoretical model together with different target determination methods. In this system, where capacitors are charged-discharged by providing voltage gain, the voltage gain is provided with a flyback converter, with an input voltage of 24 volts and an output voltage between 100 and 250 volts. In the firing model, the charge is stored with the paralel connected capacitors and the firing with high currents are done in MATLAB/Simulink software environment. In addition, the magnetic characteristic of the coil is shown in the ANSYS/Maxwell simulation program. For the firing model to detect the target; an acoustic positioning system which detects location using time difference algorithm and an identifier that detects target presence using image processing techniques have been designed. By using the created model, the velocities of 2 to 65 m/s have been reached in the shots.
