The wide-ranging agreement will see the two companies work together to explore ways to improve the range, precision and performance of ammunition. By facilitating the sharing of technology and manufacturing expertise, the companies’ aim is to simplify and accelerate processes to rapidly scale up the manufacture of propellants and explosives, to meet increased global demand. 

Ongoing world events demonstrate the importance of partnership to ensure we can supply critical munitions capabilities to meet demand. Industry’s ability to scale munitions production is an essential part of this and by working together with others, we can better support our customers.
