Ultra Defense Corp (UDC USA) has some exciting news to kick off 2023. Our Kingsville, Missouri facility now has our 200-meter range fully operational.
The on-site range capabilities include Electronic Pressure Velocity and Action Time (EVPAT), Infrared Ballistic Screens and Radar to capture ammunition velocities, acoustic targets for accuracy, Piezo pressure measuring equipment, and an old-school copper crusher for weapon systems that have not yet transitioned to Piezo. We are very proud of the armor-testing capabilities at this range and are employing those capabilities for customers now. We have a complete quality laboratory on site that includes automated vision systems, waterproof/submersion testing, extreme temperature capabilities and bullet pull to 2,500 lb. The range is capable of small and magnum calibers as well as caliber cannon like 20x102mm currently in production, plus grenade calibers 40x46mm and 40x53mm.
The on-site test firing range and the tools associated with it enable an expeditious product development process. CEO Matthew Herring stated ‘Aside from daily confirmation that we are hitting US MIL SPEC requirements, this on-site testing capability dramatically increases the rate at which we can bring new and more lethal capabilities to bare for the US Government and our allies in the fight against unjust aggression worldwide.’
