Anniston Munitions Center Completes Refurbishment of Reactive Armor Tiles for Combat Vehicles
The Anniston Munitions Center has finalized a nearly ten-year mission to refurbish over 100,000 reactive armor tiles (RATs) for Army combat vehicles. This project enhanced the center's technical capabilities and generated significant cost savings by restoring existing tiles instead of purchasing new ones, thus alleviating shortages and maintaining production schedules.

The Anniston Munitions Center has completed a refurbishment mission for over 100,000 reactive armor tiles (RATs) that lasted nearly ten years. These tiles are crucial for the protection of Army wheeled and tracked combat vehicles.
The mission showcased ANMC's ability to handle complex sustainment tasks beyond traditional munitions operations. The refurbishment, performed in-house, resulted in millions of dollars in savings for the Army by avoiding new purchases. The process involved cleaning, inspecting, repairing, and repainting the tiles, while maintaining high safety and quality standards.
