Design and Manufacturing Facilities
Simsbury, Connecticut
100,000 square feet of design and manufacturing facilities maintaining the highest possible quality standards. The facilities provide for manufacture of linear explosives and energetics assemblies; explosive warehousing and energetics test labs.
Linear Area
Produces metal clad explosive products for direct customer sales and integration into other EBA&D systems; tube loading, vibration loading, and tamp loading of lead, aluminum, and tin-based alloy tubes; metal forming and shaping including multiple drawbenches, swagers, and a roll mill
Limited Production Area
A core team of technicians, manufacturing, and quality engineers develop and build unique energetic solutions in a low-production environment; environmentally controlled buildings for loading and assembly of sensitive pyrotechnics and primary powders; remote laser welding equipment
Assembly Area
Specialized work cells for assembly and production of components, subsystems and systems; laser welding for our FCDCA and STA product lines; powder loading for a variety of materials
Military Demolition Area
Manufactures and packages a variety of shock tube and detonation products to meet customer demands in a high
production environment; powder pressing of primary and secondary explosives in one-up and multi-pin loading
Graham, Kentucky
1100 acres of engineering, test, and manufacturing facilities with recognized environmental, safety, and quality excellence.
Plastic Bonded Explosives (PBX) Plant
Eleven process buildings; basic operations include wet mixing (slurry), dry mixing, compaction, extrusion, phlegmatization (waxing), hydrocutting, and LAP capabilities
Military Demolition Assembly
Manufactures demolition assemblies, with capabilities including plate-charging of booster shells with dry explosive powder, detonating cord coiling, booster/cord integration, and military packaging
Minefield Breaching Assembly
Comprehensive manufacturing and LAP operations for systems such as APOBS and SAPLIC; rocket motor assembly, line charge assembly
Warhead (Cast Cure and Pressed)
EBA&D continues to expand into new markets with the recent construction of a new explosive warhead pressing/machining facility and a cast-cure production facility at the Graham, Kentucky site. These new state-of-the-art facilities enable EBA&D to continue to project our lean manufacturing expertise into the warhead and subsystem arenas at a variety of levels. The new facilities are a natural progression from our defense related components into delivery of full systems. The new processes include:
Multi-Reaction Facility
Vacuum solvent stripping, nitration, condensation, sulfonation, bromination, solvent recrystallization, fluid energy milling, particle sizing and micronization, polymeric coating of crystalline materials
