Now with KONGSBERG RS4 weapons station

PATRIA has signed a contract with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) for the delivery of PROTECTOR RS4 remote weapon stations for more than 300 Patria 6×6 armoured vehicles within the multinational Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) programme. The contract, valued at approximately 140 million euros, includes an additional order for Sweden as well as RS4 subsystems for several CAVS vehicle variants ordered by Germany in December 2025. The assembly of these vehicles will be carried out in cooperation with Patria’s industrial partners in Germany, with deliveries scheduled for 2026–2030.

The Finnish-led CAVS programme currently consists of seven member nations: Finland, Latvia, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, The United Kingdom and Norway with the vehicles being also operational in Ukraine. Within the CAVS programme, the 6×6 armoured vehicle system development is led by Patria, that has more than four decades of experience in developing and delivering state-of-the-art protected troop transportation and system integration. Vast majority of supply of the vehicles is conducted by utilising the member nations’ local industry capabilities and every new nation is inherently reinforcing the security of supply for the whole collaboration system.

PATRIA has already contracted nearly 2000 Patria 6×6 vehicles including options and has delivered more than 300 vehicles. The programme is open to other countries with similar equipment requirements, by mutual consent of the participating countries. ALL INFORMATION about the RS4 at KONGSBERG.
