The newly redesigned attenuating blast cone (ABC) for the 120mm mortar system, developed by Rock Island Arsenal – Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center, is displayed. Crafted from titanium using advanced 3D printing technology, the four-part cone represents a significant leap forward in soldier safety and operational efficiency, weighing less than half its predecessor. The innovative design demonstrates the Army's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge manufacturing processes to enhance warfighter capabilities. Rock Island Arsenal-Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center develops, manufactures and delivers readiness solutions through conventional and advanced manufacturing processes for the U.S. Army and Department of Defense systems globally.
