Saab to provide in-service support to the Australian Army for Carl-Gustaf M4
Saab Australia (Saab) has signed a contract with the Commonwealth of Australia to provide in‑country through-life support for the Carl-Gustaf® M4 weapon.
The initial four-year contract, which includes two two-year extension options, will see Saab deliver the maintenance, repair, and provision of spares of the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 recoilless rifle, as well as operator and maintainer training for Australian Defence Force personnel.
Saab will provide assured, agile, and timely provision of in-service support of the Carl-Gustaf M4, under the Short Range Anti-Armour Weapon System (SRAAW) support contract and drive growth through product roadmap updates and a framework for future acquisitions to enable capability enhancements.
Trusted by Australian troops for decades and supplied to more than 40 countries around the world, Saab’s Carl-Gustaf M4 is a man-portable, multi-role weapon system that allows dismounted soldiers to effectively manage multiple challenges on the modern battlefield.
“Demonstrated to deliver results on the battlefield, the Carl-Gustaf system, is a combat-proven capability that ensures the effectiveness our soldiers need,” said Saab Australia Managing Director Andy Keough CSC.
“As a sovereign provider with a demonstrated history in supporting Australia’s land domain, Saab’s local workforce, agility, and unrestricted product access, allows us to rapidly deliver speed to capability for the Australian Defence Force.”
Saab’s support for the Australian Army goes beyond advanced weapon systems, extending to ground based air defence solutions, land force camouflage, battle management systems, and world-leading deployable health and infrastructure solutions.
