卡尔-古斯塔夫-一个可靠的和不断发展的武器
被澳大利亚军队信任了几十年, Saab’s Carl-Gustaf® recoilless rifle system is continually evolving to deliver new capabilities for changing, 现代战场.
With troops increasingly required to deploy in urban settings and combat environments becoming more complex, a flexible and reliable ground support weapon is essential.
The carl - gustaf系统’s latest variant, M4, is in service with the 澳大利亚n Army. Globally, M4 and earlier variants are supporting armies in 40 nations.
Ensuring the system evolves to meet the changing needs of today’s armed forces while still providing the flexible and robust capability that soldiers have trusted since Carl-Gustaf’s inception in 1948.
M4系统, weighing less than seven kilograms and measuring under one metre, features a standard clip-on telescopic sight on a picatinny rail, allowing users to install thermal sights or image intensifiers for operations in low light or night conditions. The system is also compatible with a rapidly growing range of third-party fire-control systems, which means that 澳大利亚n users can easily upgrade to the latest sighting technology.
New capability allows troops to deal with current and future threats
The 2022 releases of the highly advanced HE 448 programmable round and FCD 558 fire-control device are the latest in a long line of technological advances that have increased the carl - gustaf系统’s accuracy and effectiveness.
The high-explosive HE 448 round contains an interface that allows it to communicate directly with the FCD 558 fire-control device. This interface passes information on the temperature of its propellant – a key factor in flight time – to the ballistics computer in FCD 558, 稍加调整，大大提高准确性.
This means that operators will be able to quickly configure a chambered round and increase their operational effectiveness.
This communication between the round and sight also allows ‘direct fire’ or ‘airburst’ mode to be selected via a toggle rather than manually on the side of the round. HE 448子弹也被重新设计为更轻, 飞得更远, 而且对装甲部队更有效, providing combat flexibility when and where it’s needed most.
Communication between the round and fire-control device is part of a Saab-developed protocol called Firebolt®, which has the potential to enhance the accuracy and usability of the full range of Carl-Gustaf ammunition natures. Because the fire-control device will be able to identify the round that a gunner places in the system and make appropriate ballistic adjustments, there will be no need to fit different range drums for different natures, 就像以前版本的武器一样.
While the HE 448 and FCD 558 produce optimal results when used together, 每个都与当前的卡尔-古斯塔夫系统兼容.
广泛的弹药提供战斗灵活性
The range of ammunition available has also increased to at least 15 natures.
所有 Carl-Gustaf ammunition natures have a calibre of 84 mm, which means that each is compatible with every version of the weapon. The variety of ammunition natures gives armed forces the capability to achieve their mission faster, 具有极高的准确性和适应性, 在保证士兵安全的同时.
从反坦克, 反坦克反结构弹药, troops can effectively destroy structures and vehicles with armour or neutralise infantry in the open.
Some ammunition natures have been designed for specific tasks on the battlefield, such as providing illumination to light tactical areas during night operations and smoke as an effective tool for blinding and screening targets.
Saab’s ongoing development of the Carl-Gustaf ensures that 澳大利亚’s armed forces are equipped to deal not only with today’s battlefield threats, 但也有明天.
