France orders NLAW anti-tank systems from Saab

The French General Directorate of Armaments has finalized a contract with Swedish defense firm Saab to supply its Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW). The agreement, spanning deliveries from 2026 through 2030, marks a significant expansion of the French military's portable anti-armor capabilities for infantry units.

The procurement package encompasses both live NLAW hardware and a suite of indoor and outdoor training systems. France has also secured options to acquire additional units beyond the initial order. This deal deepens the relationship between the two parties, as the French Armed Forces already utilize Saab’s AT4 and Carl-Gustaf M4 weapon platforms.

Görgen Johansson, head of Saab’s Dynamics business area, stated that the system introduces a new dimension of anti-tank effectiveness for French soldiers, allowing for the neutralization of heavily armored threats in seconds. Designed for ease of use, the NLAW requires no complex setup and features a smart guidance system that enables a single operator to engage targets from unconventional positions, including inside buildings or from behind cover. The weapon is currently in service with several nations, including Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Finland.
