ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA (BNS): ATK has received a $36 million order from the US Army to produce 120mm training ammunition for tanks.

The award is for a first base-year with four, one-year evaluated option years, the company said.

The 120mm training ammunition, used by the M1A1/A2 Abrams main battle tank, includes the M865 kinetic energy and the M1002 multi-purpose anti-tank training rounds.
