Recent advances in energy storage, switching and magnet technology make electromagnetic acceleration a viable alternative to chemical propulsion for certain tasks, and a means to perform other tasks not previously feasible. Applications include the acceleration of gram-size particles for hypervelocity research and the initiation of fusion by impact, a replacement for chemically propelled artillery, the transportation of cargo and personnel over inaccessible terrain (front line support, ship-to-shore, emergency evacuation, forest fire control, etc.), and the launching of space vehicles to supply massive space operations (construction of solar power satellites, lunar and asteroid mining operations, manufacturing and research facilities), and for the disposal of nuclear waste.
