The agreement covers several hundred PROTECTOR RS4 stations with a contract value of about EUR 140 million and includes the potential for substantial follow-on orders through 2026 and beyond.
“This contract positions the RS4 as the standard weapon station configuration across the multinational CAVS fleet,” said Kjetil Reiten Myhra, Executive Vice President at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. “We are pleased to extend our cooperation with the Swedish and German armed forces,” he added, noting that the deal, alongside growing interest from participating and prospective CAVS nations, “confirms KONGSBERG’s standing as a leading supplier of remote weapon stations.”
The PROTECTOR RS4 supplied under the contract is a modernised version of the Nordic configuration already selected by several European forces. It includes advanced integrated sensors, multi-weapon capability and the option to upgrade with Counter-UAS functions to counter aerial drones.
