Gouging will occur in the rails when the armature is moving at a high velocity in electromagnetic launch. The optimization of armature is designed in order to achieve high muzzle velocity without transition in the small caliber electromagnetic launching while researching the gouging with low energy. Optimization of the preload, size, plastic property, and contact area of the armature is presented in this paper. Some tests about these parameters have already been done. The model of the armature is thus determined, and high muzzle velocity is obtained with good electrical contact condition in launching.
