The US Army has contracted MSM North America, a subsidiary of Czechoslovak Group, to build an advanced large-caliber ammunition loading facility in the US.
The $632-million Future Artillery Complex (FAC) is scheduled to be completed at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant within 40 months, with commissioning and full-scale production beginning in September 2029.
.
With a capacity of 36,000 155mm artillery rounds per month, the facility will strengthen US and allied war readiness against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions.
.
“When the Army realized the need to modernize our production capabilities, Congress allocated $5 billion to add capacity and bring the defense industrial base into the 21st century.
The FAC represents much-needed new technology investments to modernize the Arsenal of Democracy in order to meet the evolving demands of the warfighter in 2025 and beyond.”
