General Dynamics $100m orders for ammunition

General Dynamics (published 16/03/2008)
 

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, has recently been awarded two contracts valued at $20.5 and $88.7 million for production of small-caliber ammunition by the U.S. Army Sustainment Command, Rock Island, Ill. Work will be performed in St. Petersburg, Fla.


General Dynamics and its consortium of small-caliber ammunition manufacturers have produced more than 345 million cartridges since 2006. The ammunition is used by all U.S. forces for training and combat operations.

'General Dynamics can deliver more than 300 million rounds per year if needed,' said Steven Torma, vice president of the small-caliber ammunition program at General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems. 'We appreciate the continued confidence the Army has shown in our team's capabilities.'
