Saab, Sweden sign ammunition agreement
Saab has signed a framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the provision of ammunition for the Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system, the company announced on 3 April.
The agreement will enable the FMV to purchase all types of combat and training ammunition in large or small quantities, as required by the Swedish armed forces.
The agreement is for three years with potential for an extension of four years; and will make rapid acquisition of ammunitions possible.
The Carl-Gustaf ammunition portfolio includes anti-armour, anti-structure, anti-personnel, smoke, illumination, and training rounds. These ammunitions enable the dismounted soldier to counter a wide range of battlefield threats.
