Comprehensive combat-proven tank ammunition solutions

At Elbit Systems Land, we emphasize development of innovative tank ammunition, ongoing improvement of existing ammunition, and development of new generations of tank ammunition. At the same time, we have full in-house manufacturing capabilities.

The scope of our development and production enables us to conduct projects around the world, understand customer needs and expectations and provide them with the most appropriate product, often together with the involvement of local industry, including technology transfer as an added value.

 

High-performance tank ammunition series

Elbit Systems Land’s tank ammunition array is compliant with NATO and MIL-STD standards. The ammunition dramatically increases the fire power and capabilities of Armored Corps. The 105mm series is certified for any 105mm NATO gun such as M68, L7, F1 and equivalent firing systems. The 120mm series is certified for 120mm NATO smooth-bore guns used by Merkava 3 and 4, Leo2A4/A5/A6, M1A1/A2, K1A1/A2, K2, ARIETA, M60A3 MBTs and approved for firing from NATO 120mm smooth-bore gun systems L44/L55.

Production facilities and capabilities

Elbit Systems Land has five facilities that are involved in the manufacture and testing of tank ammunition:

02
Metal Plant
Produces all the ammunition metal components. Proven capabilities include forging, machining, coating and metallurgy inspection laboratory.
04
LAP Plant
the Loading Assembly and Packaging (LAP) plant integrates the ammunition components and sub-assemblies to provide the final product to the customer.
01
Central Laboratory
R&D unit, develops ammunition, new technologies, performs analysis and simulations, and conducts operational research.
03
Chemical Plant
Manufactures all the energetic materials required for ammunition such as propellants, HE, detonators, tracers, pyrotechnic components, primers etc.
05
Testing Center
Conducts all the static and dynamic tests for components including energetic materials before approving them to ship to the LAP plant. The testing center conducts the acceptance tests before supplying the product to the customer. In addition, the testing center supports all the needs of R&D in order to approve the proper functioning, performance, safety and reliability of the ammunition.
