MBT LAW Light Anti-Tank Weapon, United Kingdom / Sweden
by Administrator |
The Main Battle Tank and Light Armour Weapon,
MBT LAW, developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics, was selected in May 2002 for the UK Army next-generation light anti-tank weapon (NLAW). The portable, short range, fire-and-forget system will enter service in 2009 to replace the British Army's existing Insys LAW-80 system that is reaching the end of its operational life. Deliveries began in mid 2009.
The development is a joint venture between Sweden and the UK, and the UK MoD Defence Procurement Agency will procure the systems for Sweden. It has been estimated that the UK requirement may be for up to 20,000 systems for the UK Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force Regiment.
"The MBT LAW is a portable, short-range, fire-and-forget system."
In December 2005, the Swedish government also awarded a contract to Saab Bofors for the series production and delivery of the NLAW, to be designated RB (Robot) 57 in the Swedish forces. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2009. The systems will be manufactured in the UK.
In December 2007, Finland placed an order for an undisclosed number of NLAW systems. An additional (undisclosed) number were ordered in December 2008. Deliveries are to commence in 2009
