Saab is supplying its AT4CS shoulder-launched anti-armor weapon system to the U.S. Army, with deliveries scheduled for next year.

The value of the weapons contract was not disclosed.

The AT4CS RS (reduced sensitivity) is a disposable, preloaded weapon. It features a shaped-charge warhead for behind-armor effects inside the target.

"This is another great milestone for Saab and the AT4 system," said Gorgen Johansson, head of Saab's Dynamics business sector. "This new order demonstrates the continued belief by the customer in the capabilities and versatility of our product, as well as its future potential.

"Together with the major December 2014 order from the French armed forces, this order emphasizes that Saab is the leading supplier in the shoulder-launched product segment."

The AT4 system comes in a number of variants in addition to the anti-armor model.
