The PROTECTOR RWS is the world's most fielded RWS with close to 20,000 units delivered to customers around the globe. Denmark is the 23rd country to select a KONGSBERG PROTECTOR RWS.

"KONGSBERG is very proud to have won the RWS competition in Denmark. We look forward to a close cooperation with the Danish Army as part of the PROTECTOR user nation family for many years to come. This contract underlines our leading technology within RWS and consolidates our strong position in Europe", says Pål E.
