Small Cal Base Risks Age –Most GOCO plant buildings, part of equipment and infrastructure date to WW II Single Point Risks –TNR reactor –DISRUPTION OF PRIMER PRODUCTION LONGER THAN 3 WEEKS –Most efficient operation drives many sole/single source Unique TDP –Ammo planned for use in a wide variety of weapons –Ammo required to function all over world –Changes in weapons platforms offer opportunity to adjust TDP for more affordable production Preservation of current investment –Mechanism needed to preserve current capacity when requirements go down in future –Funding to layaway and maintain current capacity will be needed or base will shrink once again –Each time it becomes more difficult to bring back Future Planning –Need to define production line needs to deal with fluctuating requirements –A long term plan needs to be developed for flexible and sustainable small caliber production base

Industrial Base Actions Industrial Base –LCAAP Modernization Update production equipment Automate primer manufacture Increase automatic inspection systems Capacity expanded to 1.5B per year –Second Source Establishes ready access to elements of the commercial base through a previously contracted agent Capacity established at 300M to 500M per year –TDP Improvements – reduce unnecessary production costs Tolerance study bullet and case Metallurgical requirement evaluation.
