ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Non-U.S. standard ammunition is to be produced by ATK for U.S. allies under a contract from the Department of Defense, the company announced.

The two separate ammunition orders were received in August and September, the company said this week, and come under the company's indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity and Basic Ordering Agreement contracts with the U.S. military, which are worth a total of $203.7 million. ATK, which manufactures ammunition, precision weapons and rocket motors, did not specify the amount of non-U.S. standard, or NSA, ammunition ordered or their calibers.


"We are honored to support our Army customer in every facet of ammunition requirements they may have, and these significant awards will continue ATK's legacy of commitment and performance to the U.S. Army NSA program," said Kent Holiday, vice president and general manager of ATK's Small Caliber Systems division.

"ATK's ability to satisfy varied munitions needs provides a strategic advantage to the United States as it supports its allies across the globe," said Mike Kahn, president of ATK's Defense Group.
