Norway orders Saab’s Carl-Gustaf ammo
Saab has received a $12.5 million order from the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA) to supply ammunition for the Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system, the company announced on 4 June.
The ammunition will be used by the Norwegian armed forces, which currently operate the Carl-Gustaf in both M2 and M3 versions. Deliveries of ammunition will take place in 2018.
The order comes under the terms of Saab’s framework agreement signed with the NDMA in 2017 regarding Carl-Gustaf ammunition. The framework agreement enables the customer to place orders for live and training ammunition rounds between 2017-2022.
Görgen Johansson, head of Saab´s business area Dynamics, said: ‘This is the second order from the Norwegian customer since we signed the framework contract and for us this is a clear proof of their trust in our ammunition portfolio. The Norwegian armed forces has been a user of the Carl-Gustaf system for many years and we know that they only want the best ammunition for their soldiers.’
