The second source is still Chemring.
A second-source list can look diversified and still leave the line exposed to the same control node. The public record gives the specimen. Find a Tender notice 030001-2024 records an MOD cartridge award to Chemring Countermeasures Ltd, with one tender received and a technical-reasons justification. Companies House then shows the buyer problem: Chemring Countermeasures Ltd resolves to Chemring Group plc, and Chemring Energetics UK Ltd resolves through Chemring Holdings Ltd to the same Chemring Group plc control node.
