Romarm

Romarm is Romania's state-owned defense-industry holding company, coordinating 15 subsidiaries and a research branch that produce military equipment, ammunition, infantry weapons, armored vehicles, drones, explosives, and maintenance services.

3 weapons

Romarm was set up in 2000 by bringing together major Romanian defense-industry factories under a national company structure. The company describes itself as Romania's main supplier for defense technique and services, while U.S. government commercial guidance identifies it as the largest domestic industry player in military equipment, ammunition, and maintenance services.

The holding spans factories associated with infantry ammunition, medium and large-caliber rounds, rockets, explosives, armored wheeled vehicles, and newer unmanned systems. Its public product pages document NATO and Eastern-caliber small-arms ammunition, 73 mm anti-tank ammunition for AG-9/SPG-9-family launchers, mortar bombs, artillery ammunition, and Carfil-Periscope drone families.

Recent partnership announcements show Romarm being positioned as an industrial integrator as well as a legacy producer. Elbit Systems announced a 2023 agreement with Romarm and UAM Moreni for a Romanian Artillery Center around ATMOS 155 mm howitzer production, and Romarm announced a 2025 memorandum with Northrop Grumman to offer G/ATOR mobile radar co-production in Romania.

Romarm is a state-owned defense holding with uneven English-language public detail across subsidiaries and product lines. No rights-clear manufacturer image was added because official site images, third-party logo scrapes, and news images did not provide reuse terms suitable for this catalog. Romarm was created after TAB-71 production began; TAB-71-specific sources identify the legacy producer as RATMIL and note the later Romarm name.

Accepted into Soviet service in 1962 and exported widely, it was designed as an anti-armor weapon but still appears in conflicts as a flexible direct- and indirect-fire support system.
