Description

The CV90 IFV (Combat Vehicle 90) also called Stridsfordon 90 (Strf90) is a family of tracked armored vehicles developed by the Swedish companies BAE Systems Land Systems Hägglunds (formerly Alvis Hägglunds) of Örnsköldsvik and Saab Bofors Dynamics of Karlskoga. The tracked chassis of the CV90 was built by Land Systems Hägglunds, while the turret has been designed and developed by Saab Bofors. The complete CV90 was produced by BAE Systems Hägglunds. Development of the CV90 started in 1984 and, following trials with an unarmed automotive test chassis, five prototype vehicles and turrets were built for extensive trials under a wide range of operational and environmental conditions. The CV90 can be fitted with different types of turrets armed with 30, 35, or 40mm automatic cannons as well as 105 or 120mm cannons. Following trials, the Swedish Army placed its first contract for the Strf 9040, now called the CV9040, in March 1991, with the first production vehicle, a CV9040, handed over to the Swedish Army on 1 November 1993. The CV90 platform design has continuously evolved in steps from Mk0 to the current MkIV with advances in technology and in response to changing battlefield requirements. Currently, the CV90 is in service with Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, Norway Sweden, and Switzerland under different configurations. On January 19, 2023, the Swedish Prime Minister announced the delivery of 50 CV90 IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles) to Ukraine.
