Vehicles protected by\nERA are increasingly more common on the battlefield. HEAT 758 features a\ntandem warhead; the initial charge neutralises the ERA installed on the\noutside of the armoured vehicle, allowing the main charge to then successfully\npenetrate the main armour. The main charge can defeat up to 700mm of armour,\nenough to defeat the heaviest armoured vehicles.\n\nAn undisclosed Carl-Gustaf customer has ordered HEAT 758 and production is\nunderway.\n\n\"This round is our response of developments of the battlefield where reactive\nexplosive armour has become a major problem for regular munitions trying to\ndefeat armoured vehicles. HEAT 758 is an example of how Saab continues to\ngenerate ever more capable products while decreasing the armoured vehicle\nthreat to the operator,\" says Michael Höglund, head of Saab's business unit\nGround Combat.\n\nHEAT 758 uses Saab's Firebolt technology, meaning it can communicate with the\nCarl-Gustaf M4 weapon in which it is loaded and with the Fire Control Device\n558 used to aim the M4, thereby simplifying the workload on the gunner while\nincreasing first-round hit probability.\n\nContact\nSaab Press Centre\n+46 (0)734 180 018\npresscentre@saabgroup.com (mailto:presscentre@saabgroup.com)\n\nSaab is a leading defence and security company with an enduring purpose, to\nhelp nations keep their people and society safe.
