The RGW 90-AS is specially designed to support troops in an urban environment. The tandem warhead with a Break In Charge (BIC) and a Follow Through Bomb (FTB) is extremely effective against a variety of structures.

The smart fuze of the FTB bomb allows the gunner to select from two modes: a "blast mode" to detonate inside the building so as to remove the protective value of the building and a "mousehole mode" to create a man-sized hole.

The high penetration capability of the BIC combined with the FB acting as a blast warhead, also proves particularly effective against light armoured vehicles. The high muzzle velocity of 200 m/s and the use of a sustainer rocket motor, which keeps the velocity constant over the whole flight path, result in an excellent hit probability over distances from 10 m to 400 m.

Designed to operate on the Davis Gun principle, the RGW 90-AS uses only a small amount of propellant together with a gel countermass. This enables the weapon to be fired from enclosures whilst remaining compliant with the noise requirements of Def Stan 00-27 and Mil-Std 1474.

The RGW 90-AS is man portable, weighing less than 10 kg, requires minimal logistics, and is fully disposable.
