American Rheinmetall Munitions

Next-generation lethality for the U.S. Armed Forces

American Rheinmetall Munitions (ARM) is headquartered in Stafford, Virginia, with production facilities in Camden, Arkansas, and Windham, Maine. The company is part of Rheinmetall’s Weapon and Ammunition division and has been bringing the division’s global product portfolio to the U.S. market for decades. Rheinmetall specializes in large and medium caliber ammunition families and is a world leader in the field of long-range artillery, mortar and infantry systems. American Rheinmetall Munitions’ product portfolio includes but is not limited to propellants, fuzing and protection systems for vehicle survivability. Other capabilities include load, pack, assembly and full rate production.

ARM is committed to continued growth in the U.S. through its strategic teaming efforts, investment in local U.S. production, and superior program, supply-chain and production management all of which are aimed at providing next-generation capabilities to U.S. warfighters at an affordable price.

Product highlights

As a leading U.S. provider of innovative munitions technologies, ARM provides advancements in lethality with next-generation weapon systems like the 30 x 173 mm MK30-2/ABM medium caliber (airburst capable) cannon, the PzH 2000* 52 caliber Self Propelled Howitzer, the 35 x 228 mm externally-driven medium caliber cannon and the 130 mm smoothbore developmental tank cannon.

Expansions to U.S. production

The MK281 MOD 3 40 mm High Velocity and the M1110 40 mm Low Velocity Day-Night Training Cartridges are produced at ARM’s state-of-the-art facility located in Camden, Arkansas. ARM is currently establishing a medium caliber “flex-line” that will initially manufacture the PGU-48/B 25 mm Frangible Armor Piercing (FAP) cartridge for the USAF F-35A Joint Strike Fighter. In addition, ARM has established a 40 mm automated, air burst fuze production facility in Windham, ME that not only provides a precision counter-defilade capability to Soldiers and Marines, but also brings advanced manufacturing to the U.S. industrial base while creating additional quality U.S. manufacturing and engineering jobs.
