Nimr-II

The NIMR II High Mobility Tactical Vehicle (HMTV) was developped and manufactured by a joint venture between Jordan's King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) and Bin Jabr Enterprises of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The original vehicles have been designed to meet the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces stringent requirements and are in series production. There are a number of the NIMR HMTV in production utilising both 4x4 and 6x6 technologies. These high mobility robust vehicles have been designed to ouperform other vehicles in their class providing greter power and load-carrying capability whilst being reliable and multi-mission capable. The Nimr II vehicle has been designed to carry out military, police and peacekeeping missions in the Middle East area thanks to a cooling system that allows the vehicle to withstand the desert climate with temperatures ranging from -25 to 55 Celsius. In February 2099, Libyan government has signed an agreement with Bin Jabr Group for 120 NIMRs. Bin Jabr Group will manufacture and deliver 120 NIMR 4x4 multimission combat platforms to the Libyan Armed Forces, according to local news. A Pro-Gadhafi Libyan Army NIMR II Armored Vehicle was seen in Zawiyah, March 17, 2011, during news of the national Libyan television, which confirms the delivery of NIMR II to the Libyan armed forces.

Jorammo announces its awarding of a $43m contract by Jordan Armed Forces

At a press conference during IDEX 2009, the Jordan Ammunition Manufacturing and Services Company (Jorammo), announced the awarding of a $43m contract with the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF).

A joint venture between the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau of Jordan (Kaddb), Mecar Sa of Belgium, and DMV Holdings, LLC of the US, Jorammo is a Jordanian based manufacturer of Small and Large Caliber ammunitions.

Brig. Gen. Mohammad Farghal, Director of Strategic Planning at JAF issued a statement disclosing the contract entails Jorammo to provide JAF with its requirements of 60mm and 120mm Mortar Ammunition, Small Calibre Ammunition and Hand Grenades. Brig. Gen. Farghal expressed his confidence in Jorammo's technological capacity, managerial acumen and reliability to enhance Jordan's defence industrial base.

Dr. Moayad Samman, Chairman and CEO of Kaddb, stated, "While JAF will always remain Kaddb's primary focus and customer, the Bureau is confident that Jorammo is strategically poised to make this contract the first of many from markets other than Jordan for small, medium and large calibre ammunition."

Jorammo's Managing Director, Brig. Gen. Bassam Issa, also in attendance said, "We are on schedule to commence production of JAF requirements by mid October of this year." Further adding "JAF requirements will be met in two phases: first, the production of Hand Grenades and Large Calibre Ammunition; followed by the Small Calibre Ammunition."

Brig. Gen Issa delineated the initial production line will include small calibre ammunition (5.56mm, 7.62mm and 9mm), large calibre ammunition (105mm MBT, 120mm MBT, 105mm Howitzer, 155mm Howitzer, 60mm Mortar, 120mm Mortar) and Hand Grenade with near-future plans for the addition of Rifle Grenades, smoothbore tank gun and eastern weapons ammunition. Adding that the production process will include: large calibre assembly, small calibre cartridge case manufacture, small calibre bullet manufacture, and small calibre assembly.

Established in early 2008, Jorammo (initially announced as 'JAMS' seeks to become one of the largest military and commercial ammunition manufacturers in the Middle East and Africa by designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, supplying, and testing the company's small, medium, and large calibre ammunition.

Jorammo production facility, currently under engineering, construction and development, is scheduled for full operations in 2010. It is situated in the Kaddb Industrial Park, just 45 km Northeast of Amman. The Facility will occupy a total area of 244,000sqm with first stage buildings area of 4800sqm including an independent administration building.

The Jorammo facility will be among the most advanced and best managed munitions production facilities worldwide. Production will be achieved by state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and technology, expert production and engineering practices, and supply chain management.

The manufacturing process will benefit from the presence of an advanced ballistics laboratory in which state-of-the-art precision instrumentation will test and monitor ammunition performance, including velocity, pressure, accuracy and impact.
