FFV Ordnance

FFV Ordnance is Saab's Swedish ground-combat and anti-armour manufacturing arm, tied to the catalog through the AT4 family and the wider Carl-Gustaf line. This profile captures its Karlskoga base, Saab ownership, legal-name context, and the long-running product family work that connects the builder to the catalog.

FFV Ordnance is the Saab-linked Swedish ordnance and ground-combat business line based in Karlskoga. Saab describes it as a fully owned subsidiary that supports ground combat weapons, while the company's certification material shows a Swedish manufacturing, design, support, and service scope for guided weapon and anti-armour systems.

For this catalog, FFV Ordnance matters because it anchors the catalog's legacy AT4 line and the broader Carl-Gustaf family. The profile captures the company-level context behind those systems rather than repeating weapon-page specifications.

FFV Ordnance is a Saab-linked Swedish builder with a narrow public footprint, so the profile combines official Saab pages, a Swedish registry-style listing, and a rights-clear Commons image. The sources emphasize the company's ground-combat product family and current Saab affiliation more than a standalone corporate website.
