Elbit Systems’ name is synonymous with excellence in artillery systems with an outstanding global reputation for innovation and reliability. With the acquisition of IMI, Elbit Systems offers unmatched experience and a high-performance array of combat-proven, advanced artillery ammunition solutions to meet the range of military requirements worldwide, for troops in the modern battlefield. As a world leader in the field, the expertise in both ammunition and weaponry gives Elbit Systems’ artillery solutions a unique edge.
High-level production capabilities and sophisticated facilities
Elbit Systems’ advanced production infrastructure encompasses an area of over 20,000 square meters, and covers all aspects of manufacturing, assembly, packing, metallurgic, ballistics, full in-house live firing testing, and strict quality assurance and control systems. The ammunition plant and facilities feature highly skilled staff and a production capacity of more than 250,000 bombs of all calibers per year.
Arsenal of advanced 155mm artillery ammunition
In modern battlefield challenges, the aim of advanced artillery is to improve the effect on targets along with minimizing the logistic footprint. The M454 (Super HE) has five times the effect of traditional HE projectiles, which means achieving target neutralization with only one-fifth of the ammunition. The unified charge module (UCM) enables the artillery units to deal with a single type of modular charge, thus minimizing the logistic footprint by 50%.
Elbit Systems’ battle-proven precision artillery ammunition with long-range capabilities includes highly effective
extended-range High-Explosive (HE) and Super-High Explosive (S-HE) projectiles and advanced charge systems for 155mm gun firing systems with a 39, 45, and 52 caliber barrel.
