The Main Battle Tank and Light Armour Weapon (MBT LAW) is a disposable, man-portable, short range fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile system. The MBT LAW was developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics, using technology derived from the BILL 2 (warhead and guidance), and AT4 CS (enclosed space capability) systems. It is a soft-launch system, allowing it to be used from within an enclosed room.
The portable, short range, fire-and-forget system will enter service in 2009 to replace the British Army’s existing Insys LAW-80 system that is reaching the end of its operational life. Deliveries began in December 2008.
