	Firing of ADI's 5"/54 ammunition currently in use with the Australian Defence Force

ADI's 5"/54 naval ordnance conforms to the design parameters of NATO STANAG and is an improved version of the US ammunition that is manufactured under licence at ADI's munitions facility located at Benalla, Victoria.

ADI's 5"/54 naval ammunition is designed for effective utilisation in all 5"/54 naval weapon systems. The ammunition is supplied plugged. Fuses for ADI 5"/54 naval ammunition can be readily sourced by from numerous manufacturers.

ADI's 5"/54 naval ammunition employs a specially designed propelling charge that exhibits very low temperature coefficients of ballistics to ensure velocities and pressures do not change greatly with changes in ambient temperatures.

The propelling charge also has extremely clean burning characteristics and is an excellent replacement for those propellants that exhibit barrel fouling.

ADI's 5"/54 naval ammunition product range consists of the following four items:

• Projectile 5"/54 HE plugged
• Projectile 5"/54 NF plugged
• Projectile 5"/54 ballistic inert
• Charge propelling 5"/54
