NIOA CONTINUES WORK ON 120MM TANK AMMUNITION

摘要

Australian-owned weapons and munitions company NIOA has continued manufacturing operations at the Government Owned, Contractor Operated (GOCO) Benalla Munitions Facility in recapitalising 120mm tank ammunition for the Australian Army's M1A1 Abrams tank fleet. The recapitalisation work extends the life of type of M1028 cannister tank ammunition and represents an important initial step for future manufacture of additional tank ammunition natures at Benalla. Working in collaboration with Northrop Grumman Defence Systems (NGDS) and the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) Explosive Materiel Branch (EMB), the work extends NIOA's position as one of the largest commercial suppliers of non-guided munitions to the Australian Defence Force through its extensive partnerships with global manufacturers.
