Work smarter, not harder: Rheinmetall’s proven capabilities to deliver rapid munitions industrial base expansion in the U.S.

Built to respond, engineered to endure

As global threats grow and the pace of conflict accelerates, the ability to rapidly scale ammunition production is no longer optional - it's essential. Rheinmetall has proven it can deliver under pressure, building, modernizing, expanding and operating high-output facilities across the globe.

American Rheinmetall Munitions is working to apply this global experience to meet the specific demands of the U.S. defense industrial base. "In Europe and South Africa, we've had to design around real constraints, in many cases - limited power, unreliable infrastructure, even grid instability," said Battagliese. "Those lessons are directly transferable, and we're already thinking about how to apply them here in the U.S. - especially at older sites where the infrastructure may not support 24/7 surge operations without additional investment."

Beyond the physical infrastructure delivery and operation, American Rheinmetall Munitions leverages Rheinmetall's full-spectrum systems integration capabilities. "We're designing entire ecosystems, including supply chain coordination, safety, environmental controls, automation and even digital manufacturing integration. That's what we've delivered overseas, and it's what we're ready to bring to the U.S.," Battagliese said.

Translating that model to the U.S. context means navigating complex permitting requirements, workforce expansion, and coordination across federal, state, and local agencies. American Rheinmetall Munitions is already moving ahead, conducting site assessments and building early stakeholder alignment strategies based on lessons from global deployments.

Recent Army testimony before the House Armed Services Committee has highlighted the persistent barriers to expanding domestic munitions production, pointing to fragmented infrastructure, complex permitting, and long lead times for energetics production. These systemic challenges highlight the need for integrated, proven models like Rheinmetall's. With its repeatable, field-tested approach, American Rheinmetall Munitions gives its customers a pathway to directly address these challenges, offering a faster, lower risk path forward.
