SAAB and the French General Directorate of Armaments, Direction générale de l’Armement, have signed a contract regarding Saab’s NLAW (Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon). Deliveries are scheduled 2026-2030.

The order includes NLAW weapons as well as indoor and outdoor trainers. The contract also includes options for France to order additional NLAW weapons.

“NLAW will bring a new level of anti-tank capability that changes the dynamic on the battlefield for the French Army. NLAW provides unmatched effectiveness by giving the individual soldier the ability to stop even the most heavily armoured threat in a few seconds. With a history of delivering both our AT4 and Carl-Gustaf M4 to the French Armed Forces, we look forward to bringing the capabilities of NLAW as well,” says Görgen Johansson, head of SAAB’s business area Dynamics.
