Capabilities // Ordnance Design

Ordnance design across ammunition, warheads, and fuzing.

Over 25 years of design experience translating mission requirements into manufacturable ordnance — from projectile architecture to Safe & Arm mechanisms — under full design control.

Requirements in. Manufacturable ordnance out.

Each program is engineered as a system — projectile, warhead, and fuzing developed together so performance, safety, and producibility are balanced from the first concept. Analysis and fabrication are kept in-house to hold design intent through to hardware.

A

Ammunition Designs

Projectile design across the full caliber range, from kinetic-energy penetrators to smart guided rounds and limited-range training ammunition.

All calibers Discarding sabot projectiles Smart guided projectiles Anti-personnel projectiles Canister projectiles Limited-range projectiles Heavy-armor penetrators Remote-settable airburst projectiles
B

Warhead Designs

Fragmentation and shaped-charge warhead architectures engineered for controlled, predictable terminal effects.

Controlled-fragmentation warheads Directed-fragmentation warheads Tandem warhead / liner
C

Safe & Arm / Fuzing Designs

Mechanical and electro-mechanical Safe & Arm devices and fuzing across the full ordnance range, including miniaturized and self-contained configurations.

Mechanical S&A devices Electro-mechanical S&A devices All ordnance fuze types Multi-functional miniature fuze Self-contained warhead fuze Multiple initiation points
Documentation Standard

Drawings to ANSI Y14.5M

All design output is documented as fully dimensioned and toleranced engineering drawings to the ANSI Y14.5M geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard — ready for fabrication and inspection.
