The U.S. Army terminated its contract with Unconventional Concepts Inc. for testing military cannons in the Adirondacks, citing safety concerns about projectiles ricocheting onto state Route 9 and I-87.

DEVCOM issued a stop-work order in February 2023 for the $692,000 project, which had been under review by the Adirondack Park Agency since 2021. The agency's public hearing to assess the project's suitability is now scheduled for April 22, 2023, though legal challenges may delay it. The Army determined it could conduct testing internally without needing the proposed firing range.
