Contracts Support U.S. and Allied Warfighters With Ammunition for Air, Sea and Land Platforms
Medium caliber orders included a broad range of purchases for 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and LW30mm ammunition for multiple services for use with air, sea and land weapons platforms. These contracts are awarded through the U.S. Army Maneuver Ammunition Systems in its role as the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition.
Our development and production of highly reliable and effective
ammunition for the warfighter spans a wide spectrum of technologies and
capabilities, said
International medium caliber orders span a range of 25mm cartridges, including the M791 Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot with Tracer and its ballistically-matched, target practice counterpart M793 which provides realistic training at a low cost.
The large-caliber ammunition contracts are for the 120mm, M1002
Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank, Target Practice with Tracer, and M865
Additional large caliber awards are for further development and low-rate production of the M829E4, which is the U.S. Army s fifth generation, 120mm kinetic energy anti-tank cartridge. The cartridge incorporates an advanced design, long-rod penetrator and proprietary, three-petal composite sabot that facilitates the most efficient transfer of energy to maximize the rod s penetrating power.
