I’m very ignorant about weapons technology. When you say anti-air does that imply some kind of homing technology in the projectiles?

- SEJeff 7y agoIt means taking out adversarial missiles or aircraft. When they're travelling so fast, they might not need any homing technology. The state of the art F22 Raptor has a top speed with afterburners of Mach 2 for reference. The railgun projectile is travelling at Mach 6 per the article. If the plane is within range, it might not be able to run away from one of these if they get the aiming correct.
