Saab to supply AT4CS RS systems
Saab has received a $50 million order from the US Army to supply additional shoulder-launched AT4 Confined Space Reduced Sensitivity (CS RS) anti-armour weapon systems, the company announced on 17 July.
Saab was awarded an IDIQ contract for AT4CS RS in 2008. The new order is an addition to an order worth $13.4 million received in 2017.
The fully disposable, preloaded AT4CS RS weapon system has a specially developed, shaped-charge warhead that delivers improved behind-armour effect inside the target. The system weighs less than 8kg and has an effective range of 20m to 300m.
