Swedish defense technology firm MilDef has secured a new contract valued at SEK 40 million to deliver ruggedized network equipment for BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 combat vehicles. This builds on a previous SEK 30 million order awarded in December, reinforcing MilDef’s expanding contribution to advanced hardware solutions in contemporary military settings.
MilDef’s hardware will be incorporated into the Clavister CyberArmour system, an AI-powered, military-grade firewall that bolsters mission-critical defense communications. As part of a broader cybersecurity upgrade, this integration supports BAE Systems Hägglunds’ ongoing efforts to enhance the CV90’s digital resilience and ensure secure data transmission in hostile environments.
The first serial deliveries of MilDef’s ruggedized equipment are expected to begin in early 2027, addressing the rising importance of effective cybersecurity within contemporary armed forces. The CV90, an infantry fighting vehicle widely adopted by various European nations, will benefit from these enhancements as defense operations increasingly rely on robust digital networks.
Daniel Ljunggren, CEO and President of MilDef emphasized the significance of the partnership with Clavister: “The intersection of our ruggedized hardware and Clavister’s leading software creates the best possible conditions for the next level of cybersecurity. We are proud to contribute together to the modernization of European defense.”
John Vestberg, CEO of Clavister, highlighted the critical role of cybersecurity in military environments: “In times of increased digitization of the armed forces, there is a clear need for significantly increased cyber security. For us, MilDef is the perfect partner in equipping the future's defense capability.”
This development aligns with a broader, multi-year contract Clavister has signed with BAE Systems Hägglunds to supply CyberArmour solutions for CV90 vehicles deployed in a Scandinavian and an Eastern European country starting in the second half of 2025. The collaboration underscores a growing focus on advanced cybersecurity measures, ensuring that next-generation military platforms remain protected against evolving digital threats.
