Join us as we go inside the ATS Ammunition Ballistic Test Center, where Aleksandar walks us through the rigorous final testing process. Final testing is the last line of defense against any potential defects in the ammunition production. As Aleksandar explains, this process is vital because it verifies both the Quality and Safety of the ammunition before it reaches the market. “We ensure that our production is safe, giving end users confidence in our products without any risk of malfunction or failure,” – he emphasizes. Using the latest Prototipa equipment and specialized software, the team at ATS Ammunition employs advanced sensors to capture and analyze critical parameters in real time.

Why final testing matters?

The Ballistic Test Center employs a series of highly precise tests to assess the performance of each ammunition batch. These tests include (1) Speed Measurement – Ensuring the bullet’s velocity aligns with expected performance. (2) Pressure Testing – Monitoring internal and port pressure levels to guarantee stability. (3) Firing Time Analysis – Checking for consistency in ignition and discharge. (4) Energy Calculation – Measuring the bullet’s kinetic energy for effectiveness.

A Step-by-Step Look at the Testing Procedure

1. 1. 1. The software initializes, signaling readiness with a green light.
      2. The bullet is placed in a vertical position, rotated 180° for uniform powder distribution, then tilted at a 45° angle before insertion into the testing barrel.
      3. The breech is locked into place, ensuring a secure firing mechanism.
      4. The ammunition is remotely fired, eliminating any human interference.
      5. The shell casing is examined to ensure no defects or irregularities.
      6. Data from the test is reviewed on-screen; if parameters meet ATS standards, testing continues with the next round.
