This
enables the soldier to defeat enemy targets with much greater flexibility
and in many more scenarios. The update further confirms Saab’s leading
position as a supplier of modern ground combat weapon systems. The AT4CS ER takes the well-proven anti-armour capability of the AT4CS (Confined Space) and extends its effective range to 600 m. The AT4CS HE will provide the soldier with a direct-fire support capability capable of engaging enemy troops in air-burst or impact mode out to a distance of 1,000 m. “The
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,” says Andreas Andersson, Product Director,
Ground Combat, Dynamics. |
