In 2019, China’s military spending reached $261 billion, a 5.1% rise from 2018, while military spending in India increased by 6.8% to $71.1 billion. India’s tensions with both China and Pakistan have led the increased military spending in the country. The trend towards military expenditure has led to the increasing demand for new military vehicles with equipped advanced weapon systems due to increasing terrorist attacks. As per the Global Terrorism Index 2017, the number of mortalities from terrorist attacks was 25,673 globally. This leads to the increasing focus on advanced, large caliber ammunition systems to protect and empower soldiers. The rising military spending is supporting the number of contracts for large caliber ammunition. For instance, In October 2019, the Indian Army has procured 155 mm Excalibur artillery ammunition from the US which aims to increase the artillery firepower. It is long-range ammunition and can hit targets over 50 Km away. A precision-guided kit is put on shells along with the Excalibur, to enhance the accuracy of the target. The Excalibur ammunition has better accuracy and more range that can hit targets at 40-50 km relied on the artillery gun used.

Further, in May 2017, Orbital ATK (a part of Northrop Grumman Corp.) has awarded a contract valued $53 million from the US Army to develop large caliber training ammunition. The orders include both 105 mm and 120 mm types of ammunition. The 120 mm large caliber training ammunition, utilized by the Abrams main battle tank, comprises the M1002 multi-purpose and the M865 kinetic energy tank training rounds. The company has offered approximately 5 million rounds of large caliber training and training ammunition to the US Marine Corps, US Army, and associated militaries over the years. Such kinds of contracts for large caliber ammunition systems are supporting to drive the global large caliber ammunition systems.
