The Federal Ordnance Establishment is a constituent organisation of the Ministry of Defence.
The Federal Ordnance Establishment (FOE, commonly Federal Ordnance) sets specifications and manages procurement for arms, ammunition and guided munitions on behalf of the Defence Industrial Establishment. It inspects and procures output from Commonwealth Arsenal’s ordnance factories, and administers contracts with private manufacturers including Savage Arsenal. It has a close relationship with the DSRE.
The FOE does not design weapons itself. Development work is carried out by the factory system competitively, and the FOE’s role is primarily in arranging production and certification for the Federal Military Establishment and, by extension, the Armed Forces of the country.
