In the existing composite four-rail electromagnetic launcher (CFREL), the armature and rail contact surface produces significant heat and bears considerable wear, thereby reducing the potential amount of electromagnetic thrust to be generated. To eliminate the damage caused by the thermal effect of the rail contact surface and to meet the electromagnetic thrust demand of the load, a CFREL is proposed. The proposed CFREL model is constructed, and the launcher’s electromagnetic characteristics are simulated and compared using the finite element method. The current density, distribution of magnetic flux density, and electromagnetic thrust characteristics are analysed. The results showed that the proposed CFREL reduced the maximum current density of the contact surface and effectively eliminated the current concentration of the armature and rail contact surfaces. Effective magnetic field shielding is realised with a larger range, which can better meet the requirements of the intelligent load’s magnetic field environment and provide stronger electromagnetic thrust for the load, hence solving the problem of insufficient thrust.
