I don't know, Disney did design the military's electromagnetic launch system on aircraft carriers. but yes, I'm sure they have someone build them.
The Navy began working with Disney and Vekoma in 1999, right after RnRC opened. 11 years later, the Navy’s running tests on their own electromagnetic launch technology.
General Atomics received the design contract for the latest system using a battery/capacitor based EMALS on the U.S.S. Gerald Ford. I worked with GA on this and, more specifically via ONR (Office of Naval Research), the EM railgun (employs the same basic principles of LIM).
