The SSW was conceived as part of the Future Light Support Weapon program hosted by Sweden, in an attempt to replace the Mk 19 and M203 grenade launchers attached on the Ak 5 at platoon and squad levels. The SSW was intended as the replacement for the latter.
Orders for the design and production of the SSW were placed on Nammo and ST Kinetics, scheduled for delivery in 2003. The Nammo SSW is the design from Nammo.[1][2]
Design[]
The design of the Nammo SSW is based on the American Mk 47 Striker AGL.[1]
