Orbital ATK, a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, announced today that it has been awarded a $50 million order from the U.S. government to supply non-U.S. standard ammunition (NSA) for the Department of Defense in support of international allies.

The company’s expertise in program, technical and supply chain management, and a worldwide team of proven suppliers has made Orbital ATK a reliable provider of NSA products to the United States and its allies. Including this award, Orbital ATK received orders under the NSA program of more than $200 million in 2016.
