Nammo Perry
Nammo's U.S. energetics and solid-rocket-motor manufacturing facility in Perry, Florida, operated by Nammo Defense Systems Inc.
Nammo Perry is the Perry, Florida manufacturing facility of Nammo Defense Systems Inc., the U.S. defense subsidiary of Nammo AS (a Norwegian-Finnish ammunition, rocket-motor, and energetics group). The site -- originally Chemring Ordnance Inc. -- was acquired by Nammo around 2019-2020 to strengthen its U.S. manufacturing capabilities, and is a recognized center of excellence for munitions and pyrotechnic products serving the U.S. Department of Defense, already producing solid rocket motors for AMRAAM, Sidewinder, and the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM). In October 2025, Nammo and Raytheon (an RTX business) broke ground on a Perry expansion adding new manufacturing lines to increase U.S. solid-rocket-motor production, expected operational by the end of 2027. In August 2026, Nammo Perry was one of four companies (with Firehawk, iRocket, and Albers) awarded an individual U.S. Army Other Transaction Authority prototype agreement via the One Nation Innovation marketplace to help diversify Hydra-70 rocket production. This entity models the Perry facility/US-subsidiary awardee specifically, as named in Army and trade-press reporting; the Nammo AS parent group is not yet separately modeled in this dataset.
