The manufacturing process for these various 20mm, 25mm, 30x113mm, and 30x173mm cartridges includes, but is not limited to: manufacturing of projectiles, fuzes, propellant, cartridge cases; flash tube loading; cartridge case priming and loading with propellant; projectile insertion; case crimp; and load, assemble, and pack-out (LAP) of the completed cartridges. The LAP requires highly specialized facilities, equipment, and tooling for the safe storage, handling, transportation, weighing, consolidation and testing of high explosives, fuzes, and depleted uranium (DU). In most cases, the production processes dealing with high explosives, fuzes, and DU must be performed remotely. The facilities must be specially designed and fabricated to meet DOD hazard/safety standoff requirements in order to mitigate the risk of propagation in the event of an unintended initiation of explosive materials. Additionally, the LAP personnel must be specially trained to work with explosives. For each step of the manufacturing process, sophisticated test and measuring equipment is required to ensure the final products comply with Government requirements. Approval of Measurement System Evaluation (MSE), Critical Characteristic Control Plan (CCCP), First Article Test (FAT) Plans/Reports, etc. will be required prior to production. Production support equipment includes material handling systems, tool room equipment, furnaces for heat treat and annealing, metal forming and machining equipment, anodize and phosphate systems, nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment such as but not limited to eddy current, ultrasonic and x-ray test equipment, pack-out equipment, and metrology and metallurgy laboratories. A ballistic test range must be available to perform First Article Acceptance Tests and Lot Acceptance Tests on these cartridges. Other critical skills required to manufacture these 20mm, 25mm and 30mm cartridges include, but are not limited to: ammunition process/design engineers, explosive experts, set-up mechanics and operators, quality management systems (QMS), quality control engineers, certified NDT technicians, packaging engineers, metallurgists and ballistics test personnel.
