In order to provide reference and guidancefor developing coaxial coil electromagnetic propulsion（CCEMP） technology

we summarizedthe current status and focuses of CCEMP along with reviewing the history and main achievements of CCEMP and forecasting the prospect of CCEMP applications. The unique properties

key technologies and bottlenecks of CCEMP are analyzed. It is concluded that CCEMP propulsion devices that have heavy load capacity

high efficiency and long repetition life

is one of the essential choiceson battlefield in the future. However

the application of CCEMP requires needs high density and miniaturizedenergy storage resources and high strength materials as the prerequisite

of which the possible solutions and plans for are proposed.
