Designated MAAWS in the US, the Carl-Gustaf system has been a programme of record in the country since 2013.

The US Army is set to procure the latest version of the system, the Carl-Gustaf M4 man-portable multi-role weapon system.

In February, Saab signed a three-year framework agreement with the army for delivery of the Carl-Gustaf M4.

The system is known as M3E1 in the US. It features several enhancements, including a reduction of launcher weight from 10kg to less than 7kg.

Last month, the company entered a framework agreement with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the Carl-Gustaf M4.
