NLAW (Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) eliminates even the most advanced tanks. It is best-in-class for dismounted light forces that operate in all environments, including built-up areas.

It weighs just 12.5 kilograms and measures a fraction over a metre. But Saab’s NLAW anti-tank weapon also packs a powerful punch.

With a missile capable of penetrating 500 mm armour and a range of 20 to 800 metres, the system has the ability to defeat main battle tanks.
