According to the American Admiral Pete Fanta, in 2018 it is possible to install a working prototype of a railgun on a destroyer Lyndon B. Johnson. The final decision will still be made, however, the military would like to equip a ship with a railgun as soon as possible. Of electrical power of the destroyer should be enough to provide weapons of a new type of energy.

naval forces of the USA have already carried out trials of weapons, which until recently was used only in works of fiction, and intend to install a fully working copy on a ship in the next two years. The Zumwalt class of destroyers designed to attack ground targets, therefore, are ideal candidates for arming their rail launcher in cities, reports the Associated Press.

In case of installation of the rail launcher in cities on Lyndon B. Johnson, they will replace the ship's 155-millimeter artillery installation.

Recall the research laboratory of the U.S. air force believes that in 2020 will be able to show fighters with laser weapons. In addition, they can be equipped with laser protective "bubble".
