BAE Systems plans to revolutionize its production of 155mm shells, targeting a sixteenfold increase by summer through innovative manufacturing methods. This decision responds to concerns over UK ammunition stockpiles, particularly after supplying half a million rounds to Ukraine. Their new approach entails advanced propellant formulations and continuous flow processing for explosives, allowing for efficient production on a smaller scale without heavy reliance on imports from the US and France. This strategy not only aims to meet domestic demands but also supports export intentions by 2026.
BAE Systems' new production methods for 155mm shells allow for a sixteenfold increase, ensuring supply for both the UK and future exports by 2026.
