In a combat situation there is no alternative.
You’ve got to handle every situation and every change and never be caught in a situation where you don’t have the means to act and fulfill your mission successfully.
Saab’s versatile and powerful shoulder-launched support weapons can fill the capability gap between lighter support weapons or personal assault rifles, and heavy on-demand fire support.
With greater flexibility in firepower and much-enhanced availability the unit’s striking capability can be improved whenever and wherever it’s needed.
The AT4CS RS is robust, easy to operate and carry, and requires no advanced training.
Saab’s AT4SC RS provides the ability to destroy small fortifications, take out enemy troops in open terrain or in positions inside buildings, create new entrance points in buildings, and even knock out one of the most challenging targets – the main battle tank.
Towards that end, Saab was originally awarded a U.S. Army ID/IQ contract for AT4CS RS in 2008 valued at $13.4 million, and recently received an additional order with an approximate value of $50 million for the shoulder-launched AT4CS RS (Confined Space Reduced Sensitivity) anti-armor weapon system.
The AT4CS RS is a fully disposable, preloaded weapon system with a specially developed, unique shaped-charge warhead that delivers outstanding behind-armor effect inside the target.
Weighing less than 8 kg and has an effective range of 20 to 300 meters.

“This order demonstrates the continuing strong belief by the customer in the AT4 system,” says Görgen Johansson, Senior Vice President and head of Saab’s business area Dynamics.
“We are proud to continue to provide this proven and effective tool to the U.S. warfighter,” says Michael Andersson, President and CEO, Saab North America, Inc.
Since 1987, Saab has delivered more than 600,000 AT4s, both directly and under license, to U.S. forces.
