Our Commitment

Human Health and the Environment

We handle all of your waste materials with the highest level of safety, security, and accountability. Using our services for such materials is more protective of human health and the environment than other methods of disposal, such as those that have greater or more direct exposure to the environment.

Our Impact

All of our program management efforts are directed to the safest and most efficient demilitarization of the munitions.

As one of the leading integrated life cycle managers of conventional armament products and services in the world today, we have the ability to focus our systems management capabilities on the safe and efficient demilitarization of a wide variety of surplus munition items.

Our goal is to maximize the recovery and resale of these munitions into commercially valuable materials. Our demilitarization facility has managed the safe and successful demilitarization and recycling of more than 310,000 tons of surplus munition items.
