“This is an important order for Saab and we are proud to deliver a central part of Sweden’s defence capability.”

Founded in 1937, Saab focuses on delivering solutions and services for the military defence and civil security verticals.

In October, the company secured a multi-year framework contract worth up to $87m to deliver Carl-Gustaf multi-role, man-portable shoulder-fired weapon systems to the US Army.

The US will procure the latest version of the weapon system, used by the ground forces as an anti-tank weapon system and to neutralise other challenges.
