![]() Norway is currently in the final stage of choosing a new MBT for its Army – the K2 is one of two candidates. ![]() Poland recently signed a contract to procure close to 200 K2 MBTs, in a deal where HRC will deliver a total of 1,000 K2 MBTs with successive contracts. This will enable the K2 MBT to use rounds with different scenario dependent modes, with airburst as one such option. In the mid- to long term, Nammo and HRC expect to finalize the development of a programmable fuze. Initially, Nammo will start the work on integrating its current 120mm ammunition to ensure a high safety standard as well as compatibility with the K2 MBT. This means more powerful ammunition for NATO countries using the K2, including Norway.” “The agreement with Hyundai Rotem Company enables us to integrate and further develop our modern ammunition portfolio for the K2 main battle tank. “This is a major milestone for Nammo,” said Audun Dotseth, Vice President Large Caliber Systems at Nammo. The agreement between the two companies has an initial value of $5 million for the R&D part, and likely more than $100 million if Nammo ends up producing and delivering 120mm ammunition to K2 users. Nammo has been contracted to develop new and modern 120mm ammunition for Hyundai Rotem Company (HRC)’s K2 Main Battle Tank (MBT).
