Saab has received an order from the Department of Defence for the supply of additional Carl-Gustaf M4 weapons.
The order value is $56 million with deliveries during 2024-2025, Saab confirmed in a media release on 4 July.
The Carl-Gustaf M4 weapons will be delivered with Saab’s new Fire Control Device, FCD 558.
“This order continues Saab’s longstanding relationship with the Australian Defence Force and again demonstrates the diverse range of products and services we offer,” said Saab Australia Managing Director, Andy Keough.
“We are proud to deliver modern and user-focused weapon systems that ensure the ADF’s ability to meet a wide range of challenges on the battlefield. Saab’s support for the ADF extends from these advanced weapons through to ground based air defence solutions, battle management systems and world-leading deployable health and infrastructure services.”
The wide range of ammunition types for Carl-Gustaf makes it 'flexible' and 'able to handle any situation', the company describes.
The Carl-Gustaf system is supplied to more than 40 countries around the world.
