Department of the Army's Competitive Test and Evaluation of Alternative Light Antiarmor Weapons

Abstract

We have reviewed the Armys competitive test and evaluation of alternative light antiarmor weapons (LAWS) as requested in your letter of February 16, 1983. The test began on April 5,1983, and was completed on July 27, 1983. Six types of LAWS were tested. After evaluating the test results and the price proposals provided by the weapon system's contractors, the Army, on September 28, 1983, informed the Congress that it had selected a weapon developed in Sweden, the AT-4, for further testing. The Marine Corps, which is also seeking a light antiarmor weapon, chose the same weapon. The Army also submitted a report to the Congress containing the detailed test results.
