Chemring Group is the leading manufacturer of naval ammunition and advanced fuzing in 40mm, 76mm and 127mm calibre. We are a specialist manufacturer of medium and large calibre ammunition (20 to 203mm for various models of conventional and new generation weapon systems), rockets and illumination mortar rounds for a substantial number of NATO and non-NATO armed forces.

We have in-house facilities available for explosive loading, propelling powder manufacture, integration lines for ammunition and rockets, and assembly and testing of mechanical and electronic fuzes.

In addition, we conduct in-service surveillance and life prediction. All products set the world-class standards and have done so for more than 40 years.

Chemring Group has introduced a revolutionary family of 40mm medium velocity ammunition. The new ‘Mercury’ medium velocity round transforms the capability of in-service low velocity grenade launchers by offering double the effective range of conventional low velocity ammunition. The round is designed to be fired from current, in-service, underslung grenade launchers carried on standard infantry rifles and deployable from both multi-shot and single-shot stand-alone weapons. Mercury provides the dismounted soldier with an increased indirect firepower capability at ranges out to 800m and the ability to accurately engage targets in direct fire to ranges up to 100m.
