Saab has signed an expanded agreement with US DoD for AT4 personal anti-tank systems and Carl-Gustaf ammunition for US Army, US Special Operations Command and USMC and a new order has also been signed valued at $104.9 million with deliveries during 2024-2026.
The Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) framework agreement was originally signed in 2019 and the extension will allow the US to place orders for Saab’s close combat solutions up to an additional $422 million.
The new order within the framework includes AT4CS RS systems and the latest high-explosive round for the Carl-Gustaf Weapon System, HE 448, designated as HE 441E in the US.
The AT4CS RS is a soldier-portable and fully disposable anti-armour system which entered service the US Army in 1985 and since then 700,000 systems have been delivered to US forces. Fifteen countries around the world currently deploy the AT4CS RS and/or its variants.
