up [.50-caliber] SLAP manufacturing at Lake City to establish an enduring capa- bility. Tis effort involves preparing legacy equipment, and relocating equipment from East Alton, in anticipation of this upcoming production.”


SLAP and SLAP Tracer ultimately will impact only a small footprint within Lake City, leveraging existing .50-caliber manu- facturing space and equipment, improving manufacturing efficiency, ensuring current safety standards are met, and potentially reducing maintenance costs. Te Small Caliber Ammunition team, comprised of experts across the Army enterprise, expects SLAP and SLAP Tracer production to begin in early 2025. Due in part to recent tranche funding, they will continue to provide the U.S. and its foreign partners,


like Ukraine, with the capabilities needed to achieve their mission.
