Three munitions were fired in total during the Sweden tests. Two were fired against stationary targets and one against a moving target utilizing a semi-active laser for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor the guided tests, there were actually 11 rounds fired total,\u201d Raytheon spokesman Barry Edwards said, counting the rounds shot in Texas as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSaab and Raytheon teamed to make the GCGM [Guided Carl-Gustaf Munition] a confined space round,&#8221; Edwards added. \u201cDuring these guided tests, four rounds were fired from enclosure meeting the customer\u2019s requirements. Another good point of info, four of the rounds fired were against moving targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/09\/26\/the-days-of-worrying-about-rocket-launcher-backblast-soon-may-be-at-an-end\/\" target=\"_blank\">Confined space rounds<\/a> allow the 84 mm Carl-Gustaf to be fired from within the tighter quarters that often arise in urban warfare \u2014 a previously dangerous maneuver given the Carl-Gustaf\u2019s propensity to cause shock wave and back blast injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oj1i4or1hlE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other types of \u201cseeking\u201d technologies, like infrared imaging, were also demonstrated as potential solutions for the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More tests will be done in the spring of 2020, as part of a U.S. Army contract issued last year to demonstrate a guided munition capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guided Carl-Gustaf munitions are the \u201cnext step\u201d in the system\u2019s evolution, G\u00f6rgen Johansson, head of Saab business area dynamics, said in a company press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt will be the most advanced Carl-Gustaf munition yet and will offer greater precision, minimize collateral damage and deliver outstanding performance with pin-point accuracy and multi-target capability,&#8221; Johansson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raytheon and Saab advertise that their precision-guided munition will be able to penetrate light armor, bunkers and concrete structures, at extended ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current rounds have an advertised maximum range of 1,300 meters. But the new rounds will have a range of 2,000 meters \u2014 or up to 1.2 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis lightweight round will overmatch potential adversaries while decreasing collateral damage, making it an ideal weapon when fighting under restricted rules of engagement,&#8221; said Sam Deneke, Raytheon\u2019s land warfare systems vice president, in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saab also makes the much lighter AT-4 recoilless weapon system, but that\u2019s single-shot. The military found in places like Afghanistan that the heavier but re-loadable Carl-Gustaf was often preferred by troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new rounds will allow
