RGW90 – compact, lightweight, deadly efficient
The RGW90 can engage hardened targets such as field shelters, sand bag bunkers, sniper positions or anti-tank positions successfully.
Dynamit Nobel Defence (DND) is the global leader in shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons for infantry use together with other military products such as specialised warheads for different applications, weapon stations and reactive armor.
The target of the development of RGW90, which started at DND several years ago, was to have a high-precision, compact and high-efficiency dual-mode infantry weapon whose maximum weight was less than 10kg.
RGW90 was equipped with a 90mm diameter warhead to ensure sufficient armor steel piercing performance while saving weight. This infantry weapon, which is only one metre long, has the same 1.5x magnification optical sight and firing mechanism as the smaller RGW60.
RGW90 is also designed as a disposable weapon, has been made for effective ranges up to 400 metres and has a special warhead, a combination of the HESH and the HEAT warhead. The RGW90 can engage hardened targets such as field shelters, sand bag bunkers, sniper positions or anti-tank positions successfully.
It can also fire through concrete or brick walls and fortifications behind which the opponent is seeking shelter. This is achieved with a 90mm warhead which the soldier can easily set to HESH or HEAT mode before firing.
If for engaging a target the soldier requires armor piercing effect, he simply pulls out a spike from the front of the RGW90 warhead. The single-purpose shaped-charge warhead of the RGW90 penetrates 500mm armor steel. Fixed to the RGW90 is an optical sight to ensure a high first-hit probability. Laser aids or a residual light amplifier can be attached to the optical sight.

Flight time of the wing-stabilized and sustained warhead is 1.2 seconds over a distance of 300 meters to hit moving targets reliably. Maximum effective range of the weapons, which weighs only 8.9kg, is 400 meters .
