“The Army recognizes the innovation and unmatched capabilities that ARES has worked hard to demonstrate,” said Kaptur, a senior Member of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. “I have long worked to bring together Northwest Ohio’s excellent workforce and forward-thinking companies like ARES with the federal government, and this match illustrates our region’s immense potential.”
“We have already hired nearly a dozen people directly as a result of the predecessor to this contract and we will continue to expand our capabilities through both manpower and equipment,” said Herbert J. Roder, President of ARES.
The contract is for the design, manufacturing, and testing of the Rarefaction Wave Gun (RAVEN), a large-caliber cannon with little recoil. The gun will provide the Army and the Marine Corps with state-of-the-art technology to achieve significant improvements in performance and costs of weapon systems.
