MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Alliant Techsystems to deliver ammunition to support a Special Operations Combat Assault Rifle weapon system.
Minnesota-based ATK received the contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division in Indiana. Under the $5.8 million deal, ATK will produce and deliver its Mk318 and Mk319 ammunition cartridges designed to support the Special Operations Combat Assault Rifle.
The highly modular SCAR, developed by Belgian weapons manufacturer Fabrique Nationale Herstal, is designed to provide the Special Operations Command with a weapon system that is adaptable for future upgrades.
"ATK's ammunition will play a significant role in ensuring the Crane Division of the Naval Surface Weapons Center can perform its duties," Mark DeYoung, ATK senior vice president and armament systems president, said in a statement.
"This successful development effort demonstrates the design and production engineering strengths within our business to achieve our goal of meeting customer requirements. This is a clear example of how well our company works with emerging technologies to design programs that fit with market needs."
