The Evolution of Linking and Delinking Ammunition: Automation Matters
In modern ammunition manufacturing and packaging operations, linking and delinking are often viewed as secondary processes compared to case forming, projectile assembly, or loading. Yet in reality, these operations play a critical role in ensuring ammunition can be deployed, packaged, reconfigured, or demilitarized efficiently. As global defense production demands continue to accelerate, manufacturers are increasingly…
Read MoreFrom SCAMP to the Future: How Integrated Ammunition Manufacturing Is Evolving
The Small Caliber Ammunition Modernization Project (SCAMP) remains one of the most ambitious demonstrations of what fully integrated ammunition manufacturing could achieve. Decades later, its influence is still felt across the defense industrial base, not as a relic of the past, but as a blueprint. At Bliss, we don’t view SCAMP as a closed chapter.…
Read MoreWhy Modernized Presses Are Crucial for Ammunition Manufacturers
The Stakes for Modern Ammunition Production In a fast-evolving defense environment, ammunition manufacturers are under constant pressure to produce more, faster, and with fewer defects. Modernization isn’t simply a competitive advantage — it’s a mission-critical necessity. The U.S. Army, for example, is investing heavily in automating its munitions plants because, “You get better quality [munitions]…
