CONTRA THREAT SCIENCES LLP

CONTRA THREAT SCIENCES LLP specializes in the precision manufacturing of military-grade small arms ammunition and explosive components for U.S. defense applications. The company designs and produces high-performance projectiles including armor-piercing incendiary rounds such as the 7.62x54R B32 and .50 BMG M2 AP, alongside specialized test-range projectiles and ammunition components for live-fire evaluation at military testing facilities. Their technical expertise lies in metallurgical formulation, ballistic optimization, and explosive charge integration, with a focus on meeting stringent MIL-SPEC requirements for reliability, lethality, and safety under extreme environmental conditions. A key differentiator is their ability to deliver non-standard, low-volume, high-complexity munitions that support specialized tactical and developmental programs, often under tight timelines and with limited prior production baselines. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying mission-critical ammunition and explosive components across multiple branches and test ranges, including joint military testing centers. Their work supports live-fire training, weapon system qualification, and ordnance research initiatives, indicating deep integration into the DoD’s munitions lifecycle and test infrastructure. Their industry focus centers on NAICS 332992 (small arms ammunition manufacturing) and 325920 (explosives manufacturing), positioning them as a niche producer of advanced, non-standard ordnance for defense R&D and operational units. They serve a highly specialized segment of the defense industrial base, where custom ballistic solutions and rapid prototyping capabilities are essential. As a small business structured as a limited liability partnership based in Elkton, Maryland, CONTRA THREAT SCIENCES LLP operates without federal certifications but leverages its technical agility and domain-specific manufacturing experience to meet urgent defense requirements. Their geographic proximity to key DoD test and logistics hubs enhances responsiveness and supply chain integration within the national defense ecosystem.
