Defence and security company Saab has signed a contract for the production and delivery of ammunition for the Carl-Gustaf man-portable weapon system. The total order value is approximately SEK1,4 billion. Deliveries will take place during 2016-2019.
The contract comprises production and delivery of three different types of ammunition for the Carl-Gustaf system. The contract also includes possibilities for additional orders.
“I am very glad to announce that we have now received this significant order for Carl-Gustaf ammunition. This further strengthens our leading position on the market for shoulder-launched weapons systems,” says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab business area Dynamics.
