About Metal Storm
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 Storms 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 utilizes
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.
