NAMMO receives SMAW ammo order
The US army has issued a $42.7 million delivery order to NAMMO for Shoulder launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) ammunition, the company announced on 12 October.
Under the delivery order, NAMMO will provide SMAW Common Practice Rocket (CPR) ammunition to the US Marine Corps (USMC).
The army placed the order against the USMC's five year IDIQ contract for SMAW. The IDIQ contract, announced in September, has potential for deliveries of three types of 83mm SMAW ammunition.
The contract is being managed by the US Army Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) based at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.
