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 5 x 228 mm externally-driven medium caliber cannon and the 130 mm smoothbore developmental tank cannon.

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. ARM is also establishing a 40 mm tactical airburst fuze production line that will not only provide a precision counter-defilade capability to Soldiers and Marines, but will also bring advanced manufacturing to the U.S industrial base while creating additional quality U.S. manufacturing and engineering jobs.
