Saab to supply new generation AT4 to the French armed forces

Defense and Security company Saab has been awarded a contract by the French
Ministry of Defence procurement branch, the DGA (Direction Générale de
l'Armement), to supply the Roquette Nouvelle Generation, (Roquette NG) next
-generation shoulder-launched weapon system for the French armed forces. The
first fixed contract is for SEK 295 million. The total programme, including all
options, is valued at approx. MSEK 2 050.
The Roquette NG is a general purpose weapon system which will be employed by all
three branches of the French armed forces (Army, Air Force and Navy). The
contract is a multi-stage agreement with one fixed element and eight consecutive
options over the period 2015-2024.

“This procurement is currently the single most important programme on the global
market in the disposable shoulder-launched product segment”, says Görgen
Johansson, Head of Saab’s business area Dynamics. “The French requirements are
comprehensive and exacting, and we are proud that DGA has chosen Saab for this
important contract.”

The new weapons are part of the proven AT4CS family and build upon Saab
Dynamics’ modular 84-mm product range including the renowned Carl-Gustaf multi
-purpose reloadable weapon system and the AT4 family of disposable weapons.
Three AT4 variants are included in the contract: AT4CS ER (anti-armour extended
range), AT4CS AST (anti-structure and breaching), and AT4CS HE (high-explosive
anti-personnel). These weapons provide multi-purpose direct fire support with
confined space capabilities. The contract also incorporates an integrated
logistics and support package with an extensive training suite, including
deliveries of outdoor training simulators from Saab.

Saab has teamed with NEXTER Munitions in Bourges, France, for engineering and
logistics support throughout the programme.

“A French industrial base is very important for Saab to be able to offer optimal
products and services to the French customer. We are happy to have NEXTER as our
partner in Roquette NG,” says Görgen Johansson.
