OCR cooperates with governments and partners and leads the Design, Build, Operate, Transfer and Manage (DBOTM) of the ammunition or weapon production centers to fulfill local and regional demands. We offer a wide range of services and adjust cooperation models based on the client’s objectives. Our solutions help governments to establish local production facilities which, in turn, strengthens the pre-existing military industry, decreases dependency on imports, increases exports, creates new jobs, and gives preference to local subcontracting.
OCR has nearly 15 years of proven performance supporting the U.S. and international defense and security missions with specialized production, procurement and complex logistics services across six continents. Our management and production teams are talented industry leaders with unique business and marketing capabilities. We work with our clients from the very early stages of their projects and support them in various program aspects such as:
- Business plan and financial feasibility
- Capacity planning
- Support in licensing and certifications
- Supply chain planning and sourcing
- R&D and project continuity
OCR partners with its sister companies and trusted international partners to provide clients with turnkey solutions to design and build state-of-art ammunition and weapons complexes. Being a shareholder of numerous leading ammunition and weapons factories in four continents, OCR understands the requirements, regulations and production planning aspects including, but not limited to:
- Facility planning
- Design and detailed engineering
- Machinery and equipment
- Advanced infrastructure
- Smart city and automation solutions
OCR offers management of the entire buildout and day-to-day operations of the ammunition complex while ensuring it is developed in accordance with ISO 9001 quality standards of manufacturing.

OCR offers flexible cooperation models for production of ammunition and weapons. We are knowledgeable and experienced in:
- Transfer of Knowledge (ToK)
- Transfer of Technology (ToT)
- Transfer of Production (ToP)
- Technical Data Packages (TDP)
- Specialized training
- Development of capabilities in R&D
OCR’s Technical Data Package (TDP) provides design, development, production and maintenance for a range of small, medium and large caliber ammunition and weapons (NATO and Non-Standard). Transfer of knowledge, production and technology ensures turnkey production that results in job creation, growth of the local defense industry, while assuring the “security of supply” for the domestic industry.
transfer of production
- Equipment setup and training
- Supply chain establishment
- Manufacturing processes
- Tools, gauges and automated systems
- Management of daily operations
- Post-transfer audits and instructions
- Testing software
transfer of technology
- Ammunition TDPs for small to large caliber ammunition and/or weapons
- Facility blueprints for small to large caliber ammunition and/or weapons
- Equipment listing and engineering, outfitting plan

OCR Training Packages cover multiple disciplines and processes from workforce training to management, and very specific technical skills. In addition to Knowledge Transfer through ToT and ToP packages, we offer:
specialized training
OCR’s SME provided specialized training for local workforce for various disciplines related to ammunition production using its USG approved QAIM (Quality Assurance, Management and Testing) methodology. This training ensures that “key” characteristics of product(s) are measured and recorded throughout ammunition production life-cycle, in-addition, to using in-process and post process systems for each product(s) being offered under OCR’s ToT package.
• Source of Supply
• Raw Materials Validation
• Initial Material Processing
• Assembly and Loading
• Destructive Testing
specialized testing
OCR’s “MIL-SPEC” based testing methodology is also added to training curriculum for additional capability enhancement of local labor; for example, ballistic, metrology, chemical and metallurgical laboratory training allows complete material and product evaluation, where the workforce learn how to test and verify measurements for every lot of ammunition produced. This training ensures conformance and configuration of product specifications are met. Training packages are categorized by products:
• Small Caliber
• Medium Caliber and Mortals
• Large Caliber Weapons
• Weapons (contact us for more information)
R&D areas
At OCR we ensure that all items are produced in accordance with each country’s Ministry of Defense and Military Bureau specifications, employing Quality Management Systems consistent with ISO 9001:2015. We also invest greatly into R&D to develop cutting edge technologies by working on advanced performance designs for small to large caliber ammunition, and build techniques to reduce cost, weight and collateral damage.
