Saab Dynamics has unveiled the next-generation evolution of its RBS15 family of anti-ship missile systems: the RBS15 Mk4 at Farnborough Air Show 2018:
Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (Försvarets Materielverk / FMV) awarded Saab for the design and production of a new, next-generation RBS15 joint anti-ship missile to equip the Royal Swedish Navy’s Visby-class corvettes and Swedish Air Force JAS Gripen E multi-role fighters in March 2017.
Acquisition of the Mk4 represents a substantial leap in capability for both the Swedish Air Force, which currently operates the RBS15F (the early RBS15M missile adapted for air-launch) with its Gripen C/D aircraft, and the Swedish Navy, which operates the ship-launched RBS15 Mk2 with its Visby-class platforms).
