Guided, longer-range Carl-Gustafs are on their way
By: Kyle Rempfer  

Carl-Gustaf fans will see a new, longer-range and guided version of their favorite recoilless rifle tested in the coming year.

The 84 mm reloadable weapon system is being upgraded through a partnership between Swedish defense firm Saab and their American partner Raytheon.

Test firings were already performed at the Mile High Range in Sierra Blanca, Texas, and at a Saab facility in Karlskoga, Sweden, on Sept. 25 and 26. Three munitions were fired in total. Two were fired against stationary targets and one against a moving target utilizing a semi-active laser for guidance.
