Saab presents, for the first time at DSEI, the next-generation CARL-GUSTAF M4 alongside new capabilities for the AT4.
Visitors to London’s DSEI defence and security exhibition in September will be able to see and evaluate Saab’s lightweight CARL-GUSTAF M4 for the first time. Introduced to the market just last year, the M4 has all the flexibility and lethality of previous CARL-GUSTAF variants. However, thanks to far-reaching design changes and improvements it now weighs less than 7 kg, delivering a significant improvement in soldier mobility. The M4 is also compatible with future battlefield technology such as intelligent sighting systems for programmable ammunition.
“We are proud to present our new CARL-GUSTAF M4 at DSEI for the very first time. We have developed this weapon system in response to our customers’ needs for tomorrow and we are very pleased to show the latest version of the system to the audience in London,” said Görgen Johansson, head of Saab Business Area Dynamics.
“For our users, the CARL-GUSTAF system has proven to be very simple to train with and employ. It’s a short step from when an individual sees the system for the first time, to being proficient in use on military operations,” said Malcolm Arvidsson, product director for the CARL-GUSTAF M4.
Important new capabilities developed by Saab for its AT4 weapon system will also be exhibited for the first time at DSEI. These enhanced variants deliver extended range (ER) performance and improved high explosive (HE) effects. With an AT4, any soldier can now defeat more targets with greater flexibility and in many more scenarios.
“These new members of our AT4 family further expand the great versatility of the weapon and emphasise its position as the leading disposable shoulder-launched support weapon on the market,” Johansson concluded.
DSEI 2015 is held from 15-18 September at the ExCel London exhibition centre, London docklands. At DSEI 2015, Saab is at stand 230, hall N2.
