U.S Army Orders Carl-Gustaf Weapons Systems From Saab

Saab has signed a contract with the U.S. Army for the supply of Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system in a contract worth $31 million. “This is another great milestone for Saab and the Carl-Gustaf system. This new order demonstrates the continued belief by the customer in the capabilities and versatility of our product”, says Tomas Samuelsson, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab’s business area Dynamics. The Carl-Gustaf system is a multi-role, man-portable shoulder-fired weapon. Currently produced as the Carl-Gustaf M3 version, Saab continues to develop this reliable system with the aim to provide a more advanced lighter weight version in the future. “The fact that the U.S. Army continues its plans to deploy this game-changing weapon system to its main-line units speaks for itself. The Carl-Gustaf has repeatedly proven itself in the most demanding environments and it is a versatile, powerful tool for the soldier”, said Saab North America President, Dan-Åke Enstedt.
