ST Kinetics is showcasing its wide range of 40mm solutions at Defence Systems & Equipment International (DSEi) 2009, an integrated defence and security exhibition in London.

ST Kinetics president SEW Chee Jhuen said this was UK MoD’s first order of low-velocity rounds and it reflected the continued confidence of the UK MoD in the quality of the company’s 40mm ammunition.

Earlier in May, the company had received an order of £9.5m ($20.7m) from the UK MoD to supply 40mm high-velocity target practice tracer rounds.
