Can anyone introduce the electrothermal chemical cannon?

From the 1970s, the western military powers have conducted extensive research and exploration of new launch sources, such as electrothermal chemical gun, electromagnetic gun, directed energy weapons and other electrical energy weapons research, with a view to replacing traditional artillery, but which has made a breakthrough, the most rapid development, will soon be put into actual combat use is the electrothermal chemical gun. Electrothermal chemical gun is the electric energy into thermal energy to make the propellant combustion, produce high temperature and high pressure gas to promote the high-speed launch of the projectile weapon, by the power supply, pulse formation network, the gun body, the gun frame and other parts of the composition. The shell of the electrothermal chemical gun consists of plasma nozzle, propellant and projectile.

The main advantages of the electrothermal chemical cannon are: the initial velocity of the projectile is large, up to 3-4 km / s, long range, its muzzle kinetic energy than the traditional artillery to improve about 25-55%, in addition to the launch of electrothermal chemical cannonballs, but also to launch the ordinary cannonballs.
