Abstract
An electromagnetic gun and rotating pulsed network system that includes a gun barrel coupled to a gun mount coupled on a rotating deck of a naval ship. A pulse forming network provides pulsed energy to the electromagnetic gun, and the pulse forming network is cylindrical in shape so as to be rotatable within a cylindrical bulkhead within the ship. The pulse forming network may rotate in unison with the gun barrel allowing cables to couple the pulse forming network and the cable barrel. The pulse forming network includes wedge shaped capacitors that, when positioned sided by side, collectively form a substantially circular shape.
