This project aims to address a major shortfall in Australia’s ammunition supply chain and security by providing alloy solutions that enable the bypassing of the energy-intensive ammunition production steps currently imported from foreign nations as semi-finished products. By using a range of innovative new alloy design approaches that fundamentally address alloy strength, workability and castability, this project expects to provide higher performance cartridge alloys amenable to modern economic production technologies available within Australia simply not possible with existing cartridge brass. This shall provide a flexible, cost-competitive and secure sovereign ammunition supply chain while simultaneously improving ammunition performance.

该项目旨在通过提供合金解决方案来解决澳大利亚弹药供应链和安全方面的重大缺陷，从而绕过目前从外国作为半成品进口的能源密集型弹药生产步骤。通过使用一系列从根本上解决合金强度、可加工性和可铸造性的创新合金设计方法，该项目期望提供更高性能的筒式合金，适合澳大利亚现有的现代经济生产技术，而现有的筒式黄铜是不可能实现的。这将提供灵活、具有成本竞争力和安全的主权弹药供应链，同时提高弹药性能。
