Nothing but a thought about this.... It seems there is another potential niche for this weapon when viewing it as a stationary or mobile gun system. Current strategy for most nations on striking a target of 50km or longer relies on aircraft or missiles. However the battlefield of the future is going to be highly saturated from an EW perspective. GPS, surveillance and similar satellites are going to be ASAT targets. A railgun/coilgun based artillery fits the niche of 50km to 500km range and could survive in an EW and ASAT environment. And being minimally mobile just enhances survivability.

Now that is seriously cool.
As for CIWS. Come on guys. We all know what I meant by a poor choice of CIWS if there are dozens of missiles on the horizon. Clearly that alludes to total reliance on EMG as CIWS which I don't think will happen, at least not with the one we see here. It is certainly capable of destroying one or two incoming missiles (already said this) when they are closing in so that the round launched can hit its target within fractions of a second so that even a maneuvering missile won't be able to escape. At serious ranges, no EMG can be an effective CIWS against small, agile, and constantly maneuvering AShM unless the EMG is launching some suitably guided munition. Now I hope everyone's on the same page. CIWS against ballistic missile warheads is probably also a bad idea since most warheads close in at hypersonic speeds and also have unpredictable flight paths. Same problem as countering AShM. Will require guided rounds or EM launched missiles for successful intercept.
Could you post a picture or coordinates?

for the SDF record: I can't help to think what if it's just teasing (hope you see I was enthusiastic enough about the possibility it wasn't just teasing!!)
actually it'd be very funny if there was nothing inside that turret

Are you sure ? because technology frontier keep moving forward at blinding speed maybe you should read this article Vincent posted it first at CDF There is nothing to prevent it from adding a proximity fuse and use this material which double down as hard metal and explosive at the sametime
Summary
Last year, Beijing Institute of Technology Explosive Science and Professor Wang Hui of the State Priority Laboratory was awarded the Second Prize of State Technical Invention for Fiscal 2016 as the inventor of the "Active Damage Material (Active Injured Source)" technology. This material has metal strength like mechanical strength, high explosive charge and considerable chemical energy.

【观察者网综合】科学网2月7日报道，北京理工大学教授王海福，二十年痴心不改强军梦。在2016年度国家科学技术奖励大会上，有66项成果获得了国家技术发明奖项目，其中有一项名为“活性毁伤元技术”的项目获得了二等奖。文中提到，“活性毁伤元技术”是一种新型的战斗部材料技术。观察者网军事评论员表示，从国外一些类似设想来看，这应该是一种大幅提升导弹武器战斗部的毁伤能力的新技术，理论上可让导弹毁伤飞机的半径增加一倍。不过目前世界上其他国家，包括最初提出类似构想的美国，都尚未取得实际研制成果。
美国海军曾在2002年提出过类似爆炸毁伤元的想法，号称能100%提高导弹毁伤半径，然而这个项目似乎没有了下文，似乎又是一个美国负责“想”，中国负责“干”的例证

《中国科学报》记者采访原文如下：
突破两大技术难题
王海福1985年进入北京理工大学，1996年获博士学位后留校工作。三十多年来，他一直都在与“国防科技与武器装备”打交道。
据介绍，武器主要有三项技术性能指标，即射程、精度和威力。而王海福要解决的便是威力问题：“就好比踢足球，不管中后场踢得多好，到前场都是临门一脚，如果踢不进，那就是不行。”
但大幅度提高武器的威力是世界公认的重大瓶颈性难题。王海福主持的项目正是针对该技术难题。
“我们发明的新型爆炸材料毁伤元，既具有类似金属的力学强度，又含有与高能炸药相当的化学能，还具有与惰性材料类似的安全性，可以直接机械加工，只有高速命中目标后才会发生爆炸。”王海福说，以前的惰性金属毁伤元只能通过纯动能毁伤目标，而这种新型材料毁伤元具备动能穿孔和爆炸作用的双重毁伤能力，威力会成倍性提升。
而对于该研究成果的技术水平和地位，王海福坦言：“近二十年来，如果把我国武装装备研制和发展看作是一个从全面跟踪追赶，到部分并跑甚至有限领跑的过程，那么本项技术发明成果无疑属于并跑或引领。”
从奇思妙想到技术创新
“活性毁伤元技术”项目使我国在国防科技创新领域取得了重大突破，但很少有人知道，这项具有完全自主知识产权的国防科技成果，从技术概念的提出，到关键技术的突破，再到在各军兵种武器平台上的推广应用，凝聚了王海福及其研究团队近二十年的心血。
1996年，王海福获得北京理工大学博士学位后，就开始探索高效毁伤技术的创新思路和新途径。他敏锐地洞察到了活性毁伤元及其弹药战斗部技术这一创新研究方向。然而，这一技术概念当时并不被主流学界所认可，多次申请立项也以失败告终。不过，已经“找好了研究方向”的王海福却并不气馁。
终于，功夫不负有心人。2003年，王海福首次获得了某国防领域基金项目的研究立项支持。虽然经费只有十几万元，但这项初始研究却为技术概念和可行性的初步验证提供了关键支持。2006年，王海福在此基础上获得了武器装备某前沿创新计划的大力支持，为该项研究全面进入技术创新和关键技术攻关提供了可能。
作为2006年度北京理工大学唯一获批该武器装备前沿创新计划项目的负责人，王海福很好地把握住了这一机会。由于技术创新显著、关键技术取得重大突破，特别是军事意义重大，2009年研究工作获批转入前沿创新成果转化应用研究，进一步突破了武器化应用关键技术，并最终获得2016年度国家技术发明奖二等奖。
不忘初心，为国磨锋砺刃
从创新想法的产生，到技术验证和应用，再到技术成果的取得，王海福的研究之路并非一帆风顺，而能20年坚守下来，用他自己的话说：“作为一名国防科技工作者，能使研究成果在武器装备研发中得到应用，特别是对国防科技发展产生重要推动作用，为国防增加几分硬度，既是一种职业的追求，更是一份莫大的欣慰。”
刚刚进入北京理工大学时，王海福并不了解火工与烟火技术专业到底是什么，但在日后求学和研究中，他逐渐认识到了兵器学科与技术对国家的重要意义，并开始了对它的坚守，一转眼就是三十多年。
正是由于这份初心，在面对困难和失败时，王海福才能从容面对，更加潜心研究和技术创新，“因为任何方案、理论、技术甚至经验，都只有通过科学试验才能得到充分验证，也是回答质疑最有效、最直接的方法”。

China's new technology, shrapnel materials, "the destruction of the yuan," the second explosion, the power increase exponentially Bookmark and Share Science Network reported on February 7,
Beijing University of Technology professor Wang Haifu, 20 years of infatuation does not change his military dreams. At the 2016 National Science and Technology Awards Conference, 66 achievements won the National Technology Invention Award.
Observer Network military commentators said that from a number of similar foreign perspectives, this should be a new technology that dramatically improves the damage capability of the missile weapons warhead and theoretically doubles the radius of the missile-damaged aircraft.
However, at present, the rest of the world, including the United States, which originally proposed similar ideas, have not yet achieved any actual results. In 2002, the U.S. Navy proposed the idea of a similar explosive bombardment unit claiming to be able to increase the missile damage radius by 100%. However, this project seems to be going nowhere and seems to be another example of the United States responsible for "thinking" and for China to be responsible for "doing it."
Beijing Polytechnic University Professor Wang Haifu and his team, "China Science News" reporter interviewed the original text is as follows: Breakthrough in two major technical problems Wang Haifu 1985 Beijing Institute of Technology, PhD in 1996 after leaving school. For more than three decades, he has been dealing with "national defense science and technology and weaponry and equipment."
According to reports, the weapons mainly have three technical performance indicators, namely range, accuracy and power. And Wang Haifu is to solve the problem of power: "Like playing football, no matter how good the backcourt play to the front court depend on the foot, if not kicked, that is not OK." But a substantial increase in weapons Power is recognized as a major bottleneck in the world. Wang Haifu presided over the project is for the technical problems.
"We invented the new explosive material damage yuan, both with a similar mechanical strength of metal, but also contains chemical energy equivalent to high explosives, but also has the same inertness and safety, can be directly machined, only after high-speed hit the target will An explosion occurred.
"Wang Haifu said that the previous inert metal damage can only damage the target through pure kinetic energy, and this new type of material damage he target with kinetic energy perforation and explosive double damage, the power will multiply.
As for the technical level and status of the research results, Wang Haifu frankly said: "In the past 20 years, if we regard the development and development of China's armament as a process of tracking from catch-all, to partial running and even limited lead, then this clause The results of technological inventions undoubtedly belong to the frontrunner "From the whim to technology innovation" active destruction material technology "project in our country made a major breakthrough in the field of science and technology innovation, but few people know that this has completely independent intellectual property rights National defense science and technology achievements, from the concept of technology proposed to the breakthrough of key technologies, and then to all arms and arms platform for the promotion and application of the convergence of Wang Haifu and his research team for nearly 20 years work hard . In 1996, after obtaining his Ph.D. from Beijing Institute of Technology, Wang Haifu began to explore innovative ideas and new ways for efficient damage technology. He keenly perceived the innovative research direction of active crusade and its ammunition warhead technology.
However, this technical concept was not recognized by the mainstream academic at that time, and many unsuccessful applications failed. However, Wang Haifu has been "looking for a good research direction," but not discouraged. Finally, effort pays off. In 2003, for the first time, Wang Haifu won the research project support for the fund project of a national defense field. Although the funding is only a few hundred thousand dollars, this initial study has provided key support for the preliminary verification of technical concepts and feasibility.
On this basis, on the basis of this, Wang Haifu won the vigorous support of a cutting-edge innovation plan for weaponry and equipment, which provided the possibility for the research to fully enter into technological innovation and tackle key technologies. As the only person in charge of Beijing Institute of Technology to receive the forefront innovative project of this weaponry in 2006, Wang Haifu has grasped this opportunity very well.
Due to significant technological innovation, significant breakthroughs have been made in key technologies, especially in the military. In 2009, the research work was approved and transferred to application research on the transformation and application of frontier innovation achievements, which further broke through the key technologies of weaponization application and finally won the 2016 National Technology Invention Award second prize. For the first time, from the creation of innovative ideas, to the verification and application of technologies, to the acquisition of technological achievements, Wang Haifu's research path is not plain sailing, but he can keep it for 20 years. In his own words, he said: "As a national defense science and technology worker, the research results can be applied in the research and development of weapons and equipment. In particular,
