CTA International (CTAI) is a 50/50 Joint Venture between BAE Systems and Nexter Systems. CTAI manufactures the revolutionary 40 mm Cased Telescoped Armament System (40 CTAS); the world’s most powerful and compact medium calibre weapon. Over 600 weapons and 100,000 rounds of ammunition have been produced to-date, with deliveries in progress for three NATO users.

The 40 CTAS features an intelligent ammunition handling system, which automatically retrieves and loads selected munition natures to deliver maximum versatility and protection against a range of threats. Competitive through life costs are assured by the availability of low-cost training munitions, a minimal maintenance/servicing burden and the need to fire significantly less ammunition than a conventional medium calibre weapon for the same effect on target.

CTAI continues to expand its portfolio and is currently developing anti-air and naval weapon variants.
