The JAAC’s focus is advanced ammunition, which is designed to strengthen the U.S. Department of Defense’s industrial manufacturing base.
“Through a strong cooperative effort, Sig Sauer and the U.S. Army realized this scalable manufacturing capability in just over two years,“ the company said.
“This facility exemplifies the significant investment being made to enhance capacity and capabilities to enable ammunition production at scale in direct support of our Warfighters,“ said U.S. Army Joint Program executive officer for Armaments & Ammunition, Maj. Gen. John T. Reim. “It is amazing to see what the team has accomplished in two years with the introduction of the NGSW and the new 6.8mm round that ensures, when called upon, our Soldiers are equipped with the safest, most reliable, and lethal munitions, enabling them to decisively fight and win our Nation’s wars.”
