Green Ammo wins $5.8 million contract to supply electronic blank training kits to U.S. military
Summary: Green Ammo has secured $5.8 million in contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense to deliver nearly 1,300 electronic blank training kits. This comes amid a global shortage of traditional blank ammunition.
The electronic blank kits, compatible with M4, M249, and M240 weapons, will allow realistic training for military personnel. Each kit can simulate approximately 250,000 rounds, replacing traditional blanks and reducing ammunition costs.
The first delivery of 1,000 M4, 170 M249, and 110 M240B kits is expected by early 2025. Green Ammo's technology aims to enhance training effectiveness while addressing logistical challenges and safety concerns.
