The U.S. Department of Defense said Thursday that General Dynamics-Ordnance & Tactical Systems and American Ordnance would compete for $993 million worth of orders to produce 155mm artillery munitions.
Two companies will compete for each order of a procurement contract through Feb. 14, 2028, the Defense Department announced.
Also noted that work locations and funding will be determined with each order.
The U.S. Army is successfully executing 155mm artillery acceleration efforts amid the war in Ukraine and awards new contract actions that will significantly increase production capacity for additional 155mm artillery rounds.
