    A technician or engineer is working at a computer terminal inside what appears to be a General Atomics Electromagnetics laboratory facility. The room contains a large electromagnetic launcher or railgun test apparatus mounted on a gray support structure, connected to a barrel aimed at a reinforced target wall. Banks of blue capacitor or power storage units line the background wall, providing the high-energy power supply for the system.
