SLRC.

This is coolbert:

Consider this to be the U.S. Army answer to the hypersonic weapon problem? From a variety of sources and authors.

SLRC = Strategic Long-Range Cannon.

An artillery cannon possessing incredible range. I can understand there is merit to this idea. You can fire more rounds repeatedly at long-range cheaper than using hyper-sonic missiles. Missiles expensive!

1. "Army Building 1,000-Mile Supergun".

"While the Strategic Long-Range Cannon will hit targets at ranges comparable to bleeding-edge hypersonics missiles, Army officials emphasized the cannon is built on proven principles, just bigger."

2. "The U.S. Army Wants a Cannon with a Crazy and Nearly Impossible Range".

"The U.S. Army wants to push its long-range guns into territory artillery officers have previously only dreamt of. The service’s Strategic Long Range Cannon is projected to fire way, way, way farther than any existing gun, or any gun ever made."

3. "US working on 1150 mile range supergun".

"The US Strategic Long Range Cannon (SLRC) will have a range of up to 1,150 miles."

"The Strategic Long Range Cannon could be a follow-up to supergun work that Gerard Bull started for Iraq from 1988-1990. It could be a long barrel using high-performance propellant powder."

"The SLRC could also be a scaled up railgun."

Details of the SLRC not known. Will be MOVE-ABLE but not MOBILE. Electro-magnetic railgun as favored by the U.S. Navy that project now discontinuted? Or is SLRC an adaptation of the railgun?

ACCURACY TOO MOST IMPORTANT. YOU WANT TO FIRE A PROJECTILE LONG-RANGE BUT ALSO HIT AND DESTROY THE TARGET!
