In addition, ATK’s Federal Premium and Speer lines of ammunition will be featured, including long range precision rifle; barrier defeating; non-toxic; short barrel carbine; and law enforcement high performance handgun service ammunition.

Also on display will be ATK’s Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR) for fixed, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft platforms. GATR is a laser-guided 70mm precision system delivering extreme accuracy against both stationary and moving targets.

In addition, ATK will highlight its role as the leading supplier of U.S. and NATO small caliber ammunition, as well as Non-NATO munitions to U.S. and international security forces.
ATK will also feature fuzing solutions for air-dropped bombs and artillery projectiles in use around the world, tactical propulsion that includes technology to offer insensitive munitions (IM) capabilities to currently fielded systems, and lightweight composites for soldier systems.

The light gunship capability package is the latest addition to ATK’s Special Mission Aircraft product portfolio, which provides affordable, responsive and advanced capabilities to customer-preferred platforms. ATK’s expertise includes outfitting various aircraft — including Cessna Caravans, Lockheed Martin C-130s, Bombardier Dash-8s, Hawker Beechcraft King Airs and others — with integrated ISR capabilities, fire control equipment and air-to-ground capability for conducting responsive defense, counterinsurgency, and border surveillance and security missions.
