"The MBT LAW was developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics, using technology derived from the BILL 2 (warhead and guidance), and AT4 CS (confined space capability) systems. It is a soft-launch system, allowing it to be used from within an enclosed room. In this system, the rocket is first launched out of launcher using a low powered ignition. After the rocket travels several seconds into flight, its main rocket ignition occurs which propels to rocket from there on, to the target.The portable, short range, fire-and-forget system will enter service in 2009 (as the NLAW (Next Generation Anti-tank Weapon)) to replace the British Army's existing LAW 80 system that is reaching its obsolescence, as well as the ILAW (AT4 CS) (Interim Lightweight Anti-tank Weapon) which is in current deployment as a substitute for the period in which the MBT-LAW is yet to be deployed. Deliveries began in December 2008."My second upload.
