for the delivery of PROTECTOR Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) to support the German
and Swedish Common Armored Vehicle System (CAVS) 6x6 programmes.
The total volume in this procurement amounts to several hundred PROTECTOR RS4
stations. The contract has a value of about EUR 140 million and includes the
potential for substantial follow-on orders throughout 2026 and the years to
come.
"This contract positions the RS4 as the standard weapon station configuration
across the multinational CAVS fleet. We are pleased to extend our cooperation
with the Swedish and German armed forces. Combined with growing interest from
participating and prospective CAVS nations, this agreement confirms KONGSBERG's
standing as a leading supplier of remote weapon stations," said Kjetil Reiten
