“Our Carl-Gustaf ammunition makes our weapon adaptable and delivers guaranteed effects against armoured vehicles, soft targets, and urban structures.

“We take great pride in Saab’s 35-year history of delivering our combat-proven family of weapon systems to the US Armed Forces.”

Designated MAAWS in the US, the Carl-Gustaf system has been a programme of record for the army since 2013.

The reloadable multi-purpose system has been operational in the US since 1990.

The Army revealed its intention to procure the Carl-Gustaf M4, which is designated as M3E1 in the US, in 2018.

The Carl-Gustaf M4 is the latest version of the weapon and can be used to destroy armoured tanks, clear obstacles and neutralise landing craft and bunkers.

The system can be equipped with intelligent sighting systems, as well as future technology developments such as programmable ammunition.
