Saab to Deliver CARL-GUSTAF Ammunition to U.S. Armed Forces

摘要

Saab has received an order for CARL-GUSTAF ammunition from the US Army. The value of the order, which is to be delivered next year, is approximately $75 million (€63.6 million). The shoulder-fired ammunition order is placed under an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) framework agreement signed in 2019 between Saab and the US Army that allows the customer to place orders for CARL-GUSTAF ammunition and the disposable AT4 shoulder-fired weapon systems during a five-year period. This order, for the Army and Marine Corps, is comprised of seven different types of ammunition, including anti-armour, anti-structure, smoke, and illumination rounds, all underlining the versatility of the multi-purpose weapon system. "The CARL-GUSTAF is a modern, flexible weapon platform designed by Saab to meet the current and future needs of our warfighters across every combat environment. 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," stated Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the US.
