Army Extends BAE’s Holston Ammunition Plant Operation With $8.8B Contract

The U.S. Army has renewed BAE Systems‘ contract as the operator of the government-owned Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee. 

The company said Tuesday it will continue to modernize the facility into an advanced chemical processing site under a potential 10-year, $8.8 billion contract.

The Holston Army plant, which manufactures high explosive composite mixture IMX-101, has been under BAE’s management since 1999.
