Quick and Easy Acquisition
U.S. Military and government agencies can acquire magazines and armories in a fraction of the time and cost by utilizing the Armag Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Armag Corporation is the only recipient of the single award IDIQ (N0017422D0031) through NSWC IH EOD Technology Center.
Reduced Arc (ESQD)
Armag was selected by the US Navy to develop a reduced arc magazine, resulting in the first magazine that can be safely stored near buildings, roadways and other magazines. The ability to safely store ammunition and explosives at nearby locations eliminates time consuming travel to and from an ammo supply point (ASP).
As a part of the limited arc design, explosives are stored in specially designed containers in the magazine which prevent sympathetic detonation. This limits the maximum credible event to only one round which the magazine has proven to withstand, thereby reducing the quantity distance arc.
