EMALS Aboard CVN 78 Reach 10,000 'Cats and Traps' Milestone - Naval News

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced today that 10,000 catapult launches and arrested landings using the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) have been successfully and safely completed aboard USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78).

Chinese Aircraft Carrier Fujian feature EMALS technology but will not be ready for operations anytime soon.

Fujian aircraft carrier doesn’t have radar, weapon systems yet, photos show

Warship was launched a month ago and military analysts expect the process to get it ready for active service could take several years.

I will take all this recent news on the sudden success of EMALS and Hypersonic missiles with a bucket of salt. US is trying to stay relevent and regain the confidence of the allies by claiming that they have equal tech like the Chinese.

INS Vishal will be a 65k tonne EMALS CATOBAR, if budget allows it could be Nuclear powered (less likely).

I doubt nuclear power will come but EMALs can be sourced and introduced fairly easily in cooperation with the US

 

[kaykay]

The IN needs to move away from STOBARs - there will always be payload restrictions with them

Hopefully in next carrier which is not coming before 2030s.

 

[Skull and Bones]

How will you test moving the fighters through elevators?

You know, there are geometry classes in school level, where you can measure the dimensions of stuffs?

 

[Hephaestus]

I think they want to but they can't as they are lacking the technology.

I think we also lack the funds as it stands now. Hopefully that'll be sorted out over the next 5 yr period.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Hopefully in next carrier which is not coming before 2030s.

Next attempt should be another 50-55k conventional carrier with CATOBAR design, similar Ac can be made in another 5-6 years with adequate funding.

True that. Rather than going for a super carrier, should go for 50-55k one.

Something like a bigger Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier.

 

[Black Tornado]

True that. Rather than going for a super carrier, should go for 50-55k one.

French Charles De Gaulle has roughly the same displacement as IAC-1 yet because of being a flatdeck CATOBAR carrier is able to carry almost twice of what a ski jump carrier can, a flat deck IAC-II would be able to carry around 3 squadrons of aircrafts.

Only China has the tech for EMALS. Even US is struggling to get EMALS working.

can you elaborate on which AC China has working EMALS like on US has one on USS Gerald R. Ford

since 2013 US is testing EMALS on different platforms and since 2017 its working on a AC. China might have tried EMALS on land but not on AC. Its not so simple as it looks, US with such vast experience in this field is yet to struggling and you are expecting China without any previous experience to overtake US in this field.

That is very impressive

 

[SQ8]

It is easier to operate than a CATOBAR configuration, which requires large number of operators to launch the aircraft. Lack of any moving parts in ski-jump makes it less expensive to maintain the launch system. It does not require any additional system to generate force required to launch the aircraft, unlike CATOBAR where an external force is needed to be generated either from EMALS to launch the aircraft.

All valid points - but it also means you launch with less payload and have more limitations to the the sea state and weather conditions you can launch it.

Google Ma wei ming for further information.

Ma's EMALS is a DC one, different from US which is AC, he and his team is also in charge of railgun, and other electro related projects, also collab with private sector tech giant such as BYD...etc.
thats all from me, I am out.

 

[INS-TRUTH]

Calm down bro. We're not even sure that there with be a third carrier. Correct me if I'm wrong. Personally, I wonder if IN should build some flat top destroyers like Japan with a few F35s if the US would sell it to us.

I can see the U.S. tying access to its EMALS tech to the Super Hornet. Or, in order to properly bag the IN contract, the U.S. could offer the F-35B.
