Metal Storm Limited is a multi-national defence technology
company engaged in the development of electronically
initiated ballistics systems using its unique "stacked
projectile" technology. The company is headquartered in
Brisbane, Australia and incorporated in Australia. Metal
Storm Limited technology and products are represented in the
USA by Metal Storm Inc., which has offices in Arlington
Virginia.
Metal Storm is working with government agencies and
departments, as well as industry, to develop a variety of
systems utilising the Metal Storm non-mechanical,
electronically fired stacked ammunition system.
Metal Storm's weapon technology uses computer-controlled
electronic ignition and a system of stacked projectiles, to
achieve a completely non- mechanical gun that is very
lightweight and compact, providing a very high firepower to
weight ratio. The Metal Storm weapons system utilises
multiple barrels mounted together on one platform which
allows varying munitions types to be deployed in a single,
low cost, lightweight weapon system. Firing the weapons by
electronic ignition requires no moving parts, allowing
reliable long term unattended weapon operation.
