LAND SYSTEMS CUSTOMER TALKMARINE CUSTOMER TALKSweden was one of the first countries to adopt a 40mm AutomaticGrenade Launcher (AGL). To be able to use combat ammunition duringpeace time training and in winter time, the round had to be equippedwith a self-destruct fuse. Several companies participated in thedevelopment of such a round. Only two manufacturers succeeded in thedevelopment and have qualified their designs. ST Kinetics is the onlycompany that has produced a round with self-destruct capability in anyquantity, and it has been adopted in Sweden. The 40mm High VelocitySelf-Destruct round has been in use by the Swedish Armed Forces since1999 with excellent results. With thousands of rounds fired not a singledud has been reported. During the development and production it hasbeen a pleasure to work with ST Kinetics’ staff whose expertise is of thehighest standards. Sweden will continue to work with ST Kinetics on thenext generation of AGLs that can fire programmable ammunition withan air burst capability.We were pleased with the quality of work and competence of theworkers during our first repair call to ST Marine.
