Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The three-year line of sight/beyond line of sight (LOS/BLOS) electrothermal chemical (ETC) launcher program, funded by the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, is a comprehensive effort to advance ETC launcher technologies. The program includes development of ETC plasma injectors for 120-mm M829A2s, build of a 100-kJ pulsed power supply small and robust enough to be realistically integrated into a combat vehicle, improvement of power connections to the gun to allow electromagnetic field containment and automated connection to the round, and tests of the completed ETC system with various chemical propellants and electrical energy levels. </para>
