What is this projectile made of? I hope they zero in on the target fairly quickly when they sight it in.

I don't think it is saying the rail gun projectiles cost $800,000 each. I think it is saying that it could replace the Zumwalts gun system, which happens to have projectiles that cost $800,000 each.
