McNally Contracted to Improve Bolt Life-Cycle

February 17, 2012 | McNally Industries has been awarded an engineering contract to improve the Life Cycle of one of the bolts in a gun used by the Air Force.  The current average time to failure is approximately 75,000 rounds and the Air Force is seeking to extend the Life Cycle to 150,000-250,000 rounds.  The SOW includes failure analysis, FEA, assessment of material options and finishes, and manufacturing test assets to prove functionality and performance of the new design in live fire testing.  McNally was selected for this task because of our long history of engineering and manufacturing internal gun components.

McNally Supports L3-CPS with new Bradley Transmission

November 8, 2011 | McNally Industries has begun manufacturing the first 16 pumps to be incorporated into the new 800hp transmission designed for the Bradley GCV upgrade.  Extensive use of IED’s by enemy forces has generated the need to up-armor the Bradley.  The added weight of the new armor resulted in an underpowered propulsion system and sluggish performance.  The result was development; test and approval of a new 800hp system containing a transmission pump designed and manufactured by McNally Industries.  The upgrade program is expected to continue for several years with well over a 1000 Bradley’s receiving the 800hp system.  When the upgrades are complete the warfighter will have a much safer platform to perform their duties.

Phalanx Systems are now more Reliable and Less Expensive.

July 15, 2011 | McNally Industries in collaboration with Raytheon has completed an engineering upgrade that greatly improves the Life Cycle Cost of the Phalanx Guns System’s electronic cooling pump.  The enhanced material now being incorporated into all new and refurbished cooling pumps is projected to more than double the current service life.  The reduction in downtime improves all the benefits generated by CWIS.  McNally Industries engineering and manufacturing are proud to have led this effort.

The RUPHIS continues to hummmmm.

April 12, 2011 | After exhibiting in AVCRAD, APACHE, and upcoming exhibits at AAAA and the Domestic and International Blackhawk Helicopter Users Conferences, the RUPHIS (Rotor Universal Positioning and Handling Integrated System) continues to dominate the helicopter blade removal market. We now have in excess of 150 systems fielded with fantastic results.  For more details please view the “Bladeclamp” video on our homepage.

Agreement with Joint Venture Yulista & SES

February 10, 2011 | McNally Industries is pleased to announce the finalization of a cooperation agreement with JVYS (Joint Venture Yulista & SES). The focus of the relationship is to provide both engineering services and an alternative source of supply for the sustainment of legacy military systems. Any agency within the Department of Defense can utilize this resource via a “Government-to-Government” funds transfer enabling contract placement in less than two weeks.  Through this arrangement, the military will have a contract resource as well as the capability to provide needed hardware to the Warfighter, or to obtain other critical services on an expedited basis.
