The Watervliet Arsenal (pronounced water-vleet) is an Army-owned and -operated manufacturing facility located in Watervliet, New York. The Arsenal is the oldest, continuously active arsenal in the United States having begun operations during the War of 1812.

Today's Arsenal is relied upon by U.S. and foreign militaries to produce the most advanced, high tech, high powered weaponry for cannon, howitzer, and mortar systems. The products that we have produced have helped hundreds of thousands of servicemen and women to safely come home since our humble beginnings in 1813.

The Watervliet Arsenal is also the home to the Army's Benét Laboratories, which is the Army's premier research and design facility for large caliber weapons. The Watervliet Arsenal is the only location in the Department of Defense that has a weapons research facility (Benét Laboratories) collocated with a weapons manufacturing facility (Arsenal), a synergy that is unmatched anywhere in the nation.

The U.S. Army Watervliet Arsenal is ISO 9001:2008 and Army Contracting Performance-Certification Program Certified.

The $1.6 billion dollar Arsenal manufacturing complex is situated on a 143-acre site and spans 72 buildings with 2.1 million square feet of manufacturing and administrative space.

This National Historic Registered Landmark has an annual economic benefit to the local community in excess of $100 million.

In addition to Benét Laboratories, the Arsenal is also home to 26 other military and civilian tenant organizations. We invite private industry to contact us for manufacturing and or office space at the Arsenal, which is in the center of New York's Tech Valley. The Arsenal is a 15 minute drive to the University of Albany and about 25 minutes away from the future site of Global Foundries in Malta.

But more than land, equipment, and buildings, the Arsenal represents thousands of great Americans who have proudly served their country by supporting our Nation’s warfighters in every conflict for nearly 200 years.
