Has there been discussion about using ground-based EMALS-like systems to launch munitions or aircraft at high speeds to improve overall efficiency or yield? Would it be technically, practically or tactically feasible to accelerate missiles to reduce the size of the booster or increase range, to get missiles or aircraft closer to ramjet speed, or to get fighters to high-subsonic speeds at launch to conserve fuel?
