Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) has signed a contract with Patria 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 Myhra, Executive Vice President at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
The PROTECTOR RS4 delivered under this contract is a modernised version of the Nordic configuration already selected by several European forces. It features advanced integrated sensors, multi-weapon capability, and the possibility to upgrade with Counter-UAS functionalities to battle aerial drones.
