ARES was a company that had various contracts with the Iranian government relating to the development and manufacturing of air force related artillery and weaponry. Their projects were various called Project 55, 20/35 (which dealt with those calibers of shells) or just ARES. These ARES-related files are in chronological order without regard to the various nomenclature. Intrec apparently dealt directly with ARES and its owner, Eugene Stoner, Lt. Colonel (Retired), rather than having a contractual relationship with the Iranian government.

There is a separate file category for a device to regulate the rate and accuracy of ammunition used by aircraft. It is variously called a CAM Rotor Gun, Fire Control System, Fire Gun Mechanism (IRG) and other similar names. This device was a subject of much discussion, negotiation and dispute concerning who owned the patent. Pierre Sprey had begun the process of patenting such a device and defended his right to it.

There is evidence that Col. Hallock had a separate file for this called "Fire Control" and we have followed his lead, but it should be noted that there are references to this device scattered throughout the rest of the ARES folders.
