Nammo is proud to announce the signing of a significant contract for its cutting-edge 25 mm x 137 APEX PGU-47/U ammunition, specifically designed for the F-35A Lightning II. The contract marks the first major agreement for this advanced ammunition type.

The contract has been secured with Australia, a partner in the F-35A program, which has consistently demonstrated strong support for the APEX ammunition since its inception. Production is due to start in 2025, with deliveries scheduled over the following two years. The APEX ammunition is set to become an important part of Australia’s combat capabilities for the foreseeable future.

“This contract underscores Nammo’s commitment to innovation and excellence in defence technology. Our APEX ammunition is recognised as the most capable aircraft ammunition ever deployed, and its performance against a diverse range of targets sets it apart”, said Reijo Bragberg, Executive Vice President of Nammo’s Small and Medium Caliber business unit.

Nammo, in collaboration with Norwegian government partners, including the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (FMA) and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), has invested substantial resources over nearly two decades in research, development, testing, and qualification to achieve flight release for the F-35A aircraft.
