At LAHAB LIGHT AMMUNITION, we offer expert services and support throughout the munition’s lifecycle – from testing to decommissioning and beyond - by harnessing the latest technologies and advanced manufacturing capabilities. As a key player in the Missiles & Weapons cluster at EDGE, our Continuous Improvement Programme adopts cutting-edge technologies including process optimisation and, in the future, robotic production using high-precision tools.
AMMO
TESTING
Our advanced facilities are equipped to inspect and test a diverse range of ammunition types, with environmental and ballistics tests performed according to NATO, MIL-SPEC, CIP and SAAMI specifications.
BALLISTIC
TESTING
We operate two expert ballistics test areas:
- A ballistics-testing laboratory, with two indoor shooting ranges for testing small calibre ammunition and anti-ballistic materials.
- Open ballistics-shooting range, equipped to test small and medium calibre ammunition.
Aligning with the highest standards, our testing technology meets NATO, US-MIL SPEC, CIP and SAAMI specifications and covers:
- Photo screens and Doppler radar for measuring velocity
- Ballistic pressure measurement with NATO-qualified transducers
- Blast overpressure measurement
- Piezo-electric pressure sensor calibrator
- High-speed videography up to 400,000fps and high-definition colour cameras
- Ballistic testing with dedicated test weapons for all types of 40mm grenades and small-arms ammunition
- Static testing of explosive-filled components up to 1kg
- Environmental conditioning of ammunition under test prior to firing
- Mobile test capability that can be deployed to military firing ranges
- Ballistic testing
