A proud U.S. partner for over 40 years, Saab Defense and Security USA LLC (SDAS) develops, supports, and improves equipment, systems, and products that are at the core of military and homeland security operations – whether on land, at sea or in the air.

A dedicated U.S. company and reliable partner to the U.S. Government and industry, we help to meet the ever-evolving security needs of our nation. We support the U.S. armed forces with leading products including advanced ground combat systems, sensor and surveillance systems, signature management products, training and simulation solutions, and more. Integrated support and service solutions are a cornerstone to our products and systems offer.

With research and development programs driving the establishment of new technologies and innovations, we create products and solutions that give our warfighters the edge in the field. Our goal is to protect American lives and assets today, and counter the threats of tomorrow.

 

Overmatch Capability

U.S. ground forces need to be prepared for any situation. Saab provides the warfighter with a full range of solutions designed to maximize flexibility. The Carl Gustaf (M3 MAAWS) man-portable shoulder-fired weapon is a perfect example. It is an 84 mm recoilless multi-role system currently in service with the U.S. Army, as well as with special operations forces. The system offers soldiers various types of ammunition, ranging from armor penetration and anti-personnel, to rounds for use in urban areas. The M3 MAAWS has been continuously improved since its inception, and a new lightweight version is currently in development.

The AT4 CS combines a highly effective warhead with a unique disposable launch system. This provides the user with the tactical advantage of being able to fire the weapon from concealed spaces and fully utilize terrain for cover.

A new twin warhead version (AT4 CS TW) offers the user increased flexibility when switching between blast and breach modes. In addition, our man-wearable C2 solutions provide net-centric capabilities, ensuring the warfighter maintains the situational edge.
