Details of Northrop’s Ammo Manufacturing Contract From Army
The recent award exercises an option under the FFP that the Army awarded to Northrop in 2022 to extend the production of ammo rounds through September 2026.
Work on the contract also includes M1002 ammo can refurbishment.
Northrop is manufacturing the training rounds at its facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In 2022, the Army awarded a separate FFP contract to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems to produce 120mm tank training ammunition. General Dynamics performed its obligations under the contract in St. Petersburg, Florida.
