"The Swiss customer has conducted a detailed, competitive evaluation incorporating both theoretical analyses and live firing tests, and we are proud to be able to say that NLAW came out as the winner," Görgen Johansson, head of Saab's Dynamics business area, said in a press release.

Saab will also supply maintenance for the training equipment.
