Kongsberg has signed a contract worth NOK 1.1 billion to deliver PROTECTOR RS4 Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada (GDLS-Canada), as per a recent press statement.

The Norwegian defence firm will integrate the RS4 systems onto the Canadian Army’s Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV). The deal extends an established partnership between the two companies and follows earlier RS4 deliveries for the same programme.

Executive Vice President of Kongsberg and President of the Defence Systems division, Kjetil Reiten Myhra, commented: “This contract confirms our customer’s confidence in the PROTECTOR systems and further strengthens our long-term partnership with GDLS-Canada.” He added: “We are proud that the RS4 continues to be selected as a key capability for the Canadian Armed Forces’ modern vehicle fleet.”

Kongsberg has already supplied RS4 units for ACSV integration. The latest order will expand the vehicle fleet’s operational reach and bolster the Canadian Army’s ground capabilities.

The RS4 belongs to Kongsberg’s wider PROTECTOR family of remote weapon systems, built to deliver strong protection, adaptability and situational awareness for vehicle crews. The system is designed to boost survivability, precision and operational flexibility across modern military platforms, and is currently fielded by defence customers around the world.

The ACSV programme forms part of Canada’s broader effort to modernise its land forces, replacing older armoured vehicle variants with a flexible, multi-role platform. Continued RS4 orders point to sustained confidence in Kongsberg’s remote weapon technology within NATO-aligned procurement circles.
