BAE Systems has received a contract for two Bofors 40Mk4 naval gun systems for the Brazilian Navy.<\/p>\n
“We continue to be a trusted partner in Latin America, providing world-leading capabilities in the region to support future growth,” said\u00a0Stefan L\u00f6fstr\u00f6m, marketing & sales director at BAE Systems Bofors.<\/p>\n
Brazil already operates dozens of Bofors 40mm guns.<\/p>\n
“We are delivering cutting-edge solutions that include advanced firepower and the lightning quick response that the Brazilian Navy requires,” added L\u00f6fstr\u00f6m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bofors 40Mk4 is a compact and lightweight naval gun system designed for anti-aircraft, anti-UAS\/drone and anti-surface warfare operations. It can switch seamlessly among ammunition types, which delivers versatile targeting of air, land and sea-based threats. The programmable 3P ammunition provides the naval gun system with the highest possible combat flexibility, as it can be programmed in six different function modes to provide optimized effect.<\/p>\n
Together with the latest in munitions technology, the proven Bofors 40mm gun forms a platform ready to meet both the expected \u2013 and the unexpected.<\/p>\n
