Electrothermal-chemical technology
Electro-thermal chemical (ETC) technology is an attempt to increase accuracy and muzzle energy of future tank, artillery, and close-in weapon system guns by improving the predictability and rate of expansion of propellants inside the barrel. Results have proven to be promising and it's very possible that electro-thermal chemical gun propulsion will be an integral part of the United States' Army's future combat system, as well as the future combat systems of several other countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom.
