BAE Systems has signed a contract with the Swedish Defense
Materiel Administration (FMV) for new CV9035 MkIIIC vehicles, as
well as associated integrated logistic support.
This new contract will provide new-build CV90s to help replenish
the Swedish Army’s fleet. These new CV9035 MkIIICs will replace
CV9040 vehicles donated to Ukraine by the Swedish government. In
addition, the Swedish government is procuring more new-build CV90
vehicles to expand Ukraine capabilities. The contract will provide
the opportunity for other nations to join in the procurement of
CV90MkIIICs.
“These new CV9035 MkIIICs will extend the capabilities of both
the Swedish and Ukrainian armies and provide crews improved combat
awareness, increased mobility, protection, and lethality,” said
Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of BAE Systems Hägglunds,
which designs and produces the CV90.
The new CV9035 MkIIIC is built to the same standard as the
newest CV90 mid-life upgrade program for the Netherlands. The
vehicles will be equipped with a new turret which provides a leap
forward in design and functionality. It also offers significant
ergonomic improvements to benefit the vehicle’s crew. The vehicle
is built on years of combat-proven experience, continuous
improvements, and data gathering from the CV90 User Club, which
comprises the nations operating CV90 fleets.
BAE Systems’ CV90 infantry fighting vehicle provides
world-leading combat capability in the 20–38-ton class. It can
integrate a wide range of weapon systems, providing all-target
capability to land forces around the world. With a total of 1,700
vehicles ordered in 17 different variants, the CV90 has covered
more than eight million kilometers. It has been selected by 10
European nations, eight of them NATO-members, and has seen combat
in Afghanistan and Ukraine, as well as operations in Liberia.
