The US army will now have the Carl Gustav as part of the main arsenal for the light infantry according to SAAB press releases. How big orders can we expect to satisfy the US needs? Both weapon, sight technology and munition.

Also, will the US invest in the new Aimpoint sight for weapons like the Carl Gustav?

There will not be that many orders. A brigade will be authorized 72 units. Given the current funding priorities, however, it would not surprise me to see the US Army hold off on procurement waiting for a new and improved Carl Gustav. SOCOM has complained on the weight of the system and Saab is currently funding a weight reduction program.
