MINNEAPOLIS (BNS): ATK has received awards totaling $13.4 million in new 25mm tactical ammunition contracts.

The company has received the awards from a mix of allies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Delivery of the NATO-certified 25mm M792 rounds is set to begin in March 2012, an ATK statement said.

"M792 rounds have a longstanding reputation as a reliable tool in the defense of critical assets globally," said Dan Olson, Vice President and General Manager, ATK Integrated Weapon Systems. "These orders support ATK's position as a global leader in medium-caliber ammunition."

ATK is the leading supplier of 25mm tactical munitions used by US and allied forces globally, including the contracted M792 HEI-T (High Explosive Incendiary round with Tracer).
