China already has several variants of hypersonic missile “carrier killers”, DF-21/26 for example; US DoD development of such technology is to maintain force parity, and long range ordinance protects high value assets (carriers) from close range combat.

I hope learnings from this railgun make its way into broad military power control electronics, and trickle down to consumers if there is value.
