YTSABDEFENCEGet in touch SWEDISH ENGINEERING. EUROPEAN AMBITION.
Advancing electromagnetic propulsion.
Engineering the next generation of defence technology.
01 / TECHNOLOGY
We develop electromagnetic acceleration technology, exploring a different way to power future defence systems.
Our work brings together engineering, physics and system design to turn research into technology that can be studied, tested and developed further.
Investigating electrically driven acceleration for a new generation of systems.
Connecting research, experimental work and engineering at system level.
Combining specialist expertise through European industrial and research partnerships.
02 / YGUN PLATFORM
ELECTROMAGNETIC RIFLE PLATFORM
Electromagnetic propulsion in a handheld format.
Developed by Ytsab Defence in Sweden, Ygun is an electromagnetic rifle platform. It uses electrical energy to propel a projectile, rather than gunpowder or combustion.
Ygun is part of our work applying electromagnetic technology across different system formats, alongside our collaborative research into larger launch platforms.



03 / EUROPEAN PROGRAMMES
Bringing industry and research together to explore the potential of electromagnetic launch technology.
