Since its establishment approximately two years ago, the Naval Postgraduate School s Railgun Laboratory - the largest of any academic institution - has empowered students and faculty with the facilities to conduct advanced, applied research in hypervelocity projectile (HVP) technology. But advanced technologies aren t the only result . In fact, the lab has quickly become a critical asset in equipping alumni to be enduring technological leaders in the HVP space, ready to make an immediate impact in the fleet after graduation.
