SubscribeSince production began in 1979, ATK has provided approximately 3.5 million rounds of tactical and training 120mm tank ammunition to the U.S. Army and its allies.
Serving as sentinels in the Cold War and as force projectors in Iraq and elsewhere, the 120mm round is the tip of spear in the global war on terrorism.
Jed Holzapfel, Vice President, International Business Development, said the 120mm rounds produced by ATK give the Army low-cost, highly lethal capabilities unmatched by any other armored force today. In addition, 120mm variants allow for effective training on firing ranges with limited perimeters.
“ATK kinetic energy and high explosive rounds use patented design features that make live-fire training much more affordable and put maximum power on target during real conflicts,” said Holzapfel. “From shaped-charge explosives to multifunctioning fuzing systems, ATK pushes the envelope of technology integration to ensure that U.S. forces and our allies have the most effective round on the battlefield.”
ATK will continue to work closely with its customers to ensure that cutting-edge technologies and materials remain the foundation of its 120mm program.
