MSM North America has been selected to build a state-of-the-art Future Artillery Complex (FAC) at the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant under a $632 million US Army contract. Designed to become a cornerstone of large-caliber ammunition production, the facility will be completed in 40 months with full commissioning by late 2029. Once operational, the plant will integrate 21st-century load, assembly, and packaging technologies, providing the ability to scale production to strategic demands. With a target output of 36,000 155mm shells monthly, the FAC will significantly boost the US Army’s readiness while reinforcing supply resilience for NATO allies. Against the backdrop of rising geopolitical uncertainty, the project ensures America retains a robust, modernized munitions base capable of sustaining long-duration conflicts if required.
