Kilgore Flares Company, LLC manufactures a host of products for the defense and law enforcement environment. Most notably, Kilgore along with it's sister companies Chemring Countermeasures and Alloy Surfaces are world leaders in the design, development and manufacture of advanced expendable countermeasures and countermeasure suites . Additionally, Kilgore was the first expendable IR decoy flare manufacturer to introduce full automation to the decoy manufacturing process, bringing a new level of safety and quality not previously seen.. Kilgore is the world's foremost supplier of airborne expendable IR decoy (countermeasure) flares, and serves as the sole-source IR decoy flare supplier for some of the worlds most sophisticated and advanced airborne platforms. Kilgore's automated facilities produce pressed, extruded and cast IR decoy flares at a rate that far out-strips any other manufacturer. This capability, coupled with Kilgore's strict compliance to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />ISO9001:2000 requirements and lean / six sigma techniques, further bolstered with the highest levels of personnel and equipment safety, assures the customer of unprecedented quality and on-time delivery. Complimenting Kilgore's airborne expendable IR decoy flare capabilities is its in-depth expertise in energetic products. These products span the breadth of marine location markers, ignition cartridges (such as primers used in 120mm tank ammunition), illuminating cartridges (such as the MK-4 used in aerial practice bombs), illuminating flares (such as the LUU-1/B) and a variety of grenades. Furthermore, Kilgore is the only U.S. based commercial producer of red phosphorus based defense products. Existing as a stand-alone business unit within Kilgore Flares Company, LLC, Kilgore Ammunition Products ("Kilgore Ammo"), using patented technology, produces small caliber, frangible ammunition for the military, law enforcement, security agencies and approved training houses. Because of Kilgore Ammo's attention to the special needs of the customer, unique loads are easily handled, including a family of traced rounds. Load, assemble and package (LAP) services are also available to support a customer's short term manufacturing shortfall or handle customer-brand needs in any variety of calibers and projectile types. Finally, through its fully staffed Technology Department (ACT) and renowned technology center of excellence, Kilgore is able to provide unique countermeasure or energetic item designs as well as unique energetic composition solutions reflective of dynamic industry requirements. This capability provides the customer with a "cradle to grave" paper to production service at a single stop, under one roof, unlike any other in this industry.Kilgore Flares Company Address
