Title:
Hybrid Propellant Development for Ballistic Training
Agreement Number:
1035249
Agreement Value:
$75,000.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 1, 2025 - Apr 30, 2026
Description:
The development of a hybrid propellant composition for 9mm ammunition to improve training realism for law enforcement. The project explores blending quickburn and slowburn powders to create reliable performance across a wide range of police firearms, while remaining within SAAMI specifications. Testing involves evaluating pressure, velocity, recoil impulse, and repeatability. By analyzing over a dozen propellant formulations and primer variations, the aim is to deliver a standardized training round that closely replicates duty ammunition, enhancing officer preparedness and public safety.
