Saab receives Carl-Gustaf components order
Saab has received an order for more deliveries of components for the Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system from an unnamed customer, the company announced on 9 March.
The order, worth around $14.99 million, includes components for Carl-Gustaf ammunition and an option for additional orders worth up to $7.08 million. Deliveries will take place in 2015.
The Carl-Gustaf is a man-portable shoulder-launched multi-role ground support weapon system used by the armed forces of several countries.
The system has been modernised and adapted successively to meet new requirements. The most recent iteration was the flexible, lightweight Carl-Gustaf M4, launched in the autumn of 2014.
Görgen Johansson, head of dynamics, Saab, said: ‘Carl-Gustaf is a leading system and a key component of armed forces throughout the world. The system has repeatedly proven itself in the world’s most demanding environments as a versatile and powerful tool for the infantry soldier.’
