The US Army has awarded a $9.7m contract to aerospace and defence company Alliant Techsystems to produce additional M228 practice grenade fuses.
The M228 fuse is used with the M69 practice grenade, to accurately measure the time delay before detonating a small black powder charge that creates realistic audio and visual cues for soldiers on training exercises.
