Alliant Techsystems

Alliant Techsystems (ATK) is a major US aerospace and defense contractor with sales of approximately $2.2 billion (circa 2004) and strong positions in propulsion, composite structures, munitions, precision capabilities, and civil and sporting ammunition. It was spun-off from Honeywell in 1990.

The company is known to produce a number of controversial weapons, including depleted uranium rounds and cluster bombs. For these reasons, the company has been a target of the anti-war movement.
