Sabots for projectiles are provided. One sabot includes a body formed from at least one section, wherein the body is configured to surround a portion of a projectile. The sabot also includes one or more engagement portions configured to interface the body with another sabot such that the body is supported at an intermediate position of the projectile, and one or more surfaces configured to interface with an outer mold line of the projectile. The sabot further includes one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of a launch platform.

1. A sabot assembly comprising: a first sabot configured to engage a projectile; anda second sabot, wherein the first sabot has at least a first portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an end of the second sabot, and wherein the second sabot has at least a second portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an opposite end of the first sabot, wherein the first sabot is configured to extend along a greater axial length of a cylindrical body of the projectile than the second sabot to support the second sabot in an intermediate position between a front end and an aft end of the projectile, the second sabot including: a body formed from at least one section, the body configured to surround a portion of the projectile;one or more engagement portions configured to interface the body with the first sabot such that the body is supported at an intermediate position of the projectile;one or more surfaces configured to interface with an outer mold line of the projectile; andone or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of a launch platform. 2. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more surfaces configured to interface with an outer mold line of the projectile comprise concave inner wall portions of the body configured to mate with an outer surface of the projectile. 3. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the launch platform is a railgun and the one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of the launch platform are shaped to interface with an inner surface of the railgun. 4. The sabot assembly of claim 3, wherein the one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of the launch platform comprise concave outer wall portions of the body. 5. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the launch platform is a non-railgun and the one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of the launch platform are shaped to interface with an inner surface of the non-railgun. 6. The sabot assembly of claim 5, wherein the one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of the launch platform comprise convex outer wall portions of the body. 7. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the body is formed from a plurality of separate sections configured to compressingly engage one another. 8. The sabot assembly of claim 7, wherein the plurality of separate sections comprise complementary shoulders that engage each other. 9. The sabot assembly of claim 7, wherein the plurality of separate sections define a web-shaped body. 10. The sabot assembly of claim 7, wherein the plurality of separate sections comprise supports and a thickness of at least some of the supports being different than at least some other ones of the supports. 11. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the body comprises a bore therethrough having a varying diameter and configured to receive a portion of the projectile therein. 12. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the one or more engagement portions configured to interface the body with the first sabot are shaped to engage a scooped front end of the other sabot. 13. The sabot assembly of claim 1, wherein the intermediate position of the projectile is a region along the projectile such that when the body is engaged therewith a balloting of the projectile is reduced during launch. 14. A sabot assembly comprising: an axial sabot configured to engage a projectile; anda secondary sabot, wherein the axial sabot has at least a first portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an end of the secondary sabot, and wherein the secondary sabot has at least a second portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an opposite end of the axial sabot, wherein the axial sabot extends along a greater axial length of a cylindrical body of the projectile than the secondary sabot to support the secondary sabot in an intermediate position between a front end and an aft end of the projectile, the secondary sabot including: a body having an interface for engaging the axial sabot; andat least two complementary components defining an interface for an outer mold line of the projectile and an interface for a barrel of a launch platform, wherein the body comprises a moldable material and is configured to reduce balloting of the projectile during launch. 15. The sabot assembly of claim 14, wherein the launch platform is a railgun and the interface for the barrel of the launch platform comprises concavely shaped outer walls of the body to interface with an inner surface of the barrel of the railgun. 16. The sabot assembly of claim 14, wherein the launch platform is a non-railgun and the interface for the barrel of the launch platform comprises convexly shaped outer walls of the body to interface with an inner surface of the barrel of the non-railgun. 17. The sabot assembly of claim 14, wherein the body is formed from a plurality of separate sections configured to compressingly engage one another and define a web shaped body. 18. The sabot assembly of claim 17, wherein the plurality of separate sections comprise supports and a thickness of at least some of the supports being different than at least some other ones of the supports. 19. A projectile assembly comprising: an axial sabot;a cylindrical body having a plurality of grooves on an outer surface thereof, the plurality of grooves configured to engage the axial sabot; anda secondary sabot, wherein the axial sabot extends along a greater axial length of the cylindrical body than the secondary sabot to support the secondary sabot in an intermediate position between a front end and an aft end of the projectile assembly, the secondary sabot comprising a body formed from at least one section, the body configured to surround a portion of the cylindrical body, one or more engagement portions configured to interface the body with the axial sabot such that the body is supported at an intermediate position of the cylindrical body, one or more surfaces configured to interface with an outer mold line of the cylindrical body, and one or more surfaces configured to interface with an inner surface of a launch platform. 20. The projectile assembly of claim 19, wherein the axial sabot has at least a first portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an end of the secondary sabot, and wherein the secondary sabot has at least a second portion that extends longitudinally outward and away from an opposite end of the axial sabot.
