BAE delivers CV90 IFVs to Norway
The Norwegian Army has received 12 new CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) from BAE Systems, the company announced on 2 September.
This is the first production batch of 144 upgraded and new CV90 IFVs to be delivered to Norway.
Under the contract signed in June 2012 between BAE Systems and the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation, BAE Systems will manufacture 41 new vehicles and upgrade 103 vehicles of the army’s current fleet of CV9030 IFVs. The upgrades include improved capabilities for interoperability, intelligence, situational awareness, survivability and protection.
The vehicles under this contract will operate in five configurations: 21 for reconnaissance, 16 for engineering support, 74 for infantry fighting, 15 for command and control, 16 in a multi-role configuration, and two for driver training.
BAE Systems Hägglunds has partnered with Ritek, Moelv, CHSnor, Nammo Raufoss, and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to deliver the contract.
Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, president, BAE Systems Hägglunds, said: ‘The delivery of these vehicles on schedule and within cost illustrates the highly collaborative, robust relationship between the Norwegian authorities, BAE Systems and its Norwegian industry partners. We look forward to sustaining that relationship as we continue to carry out this contract over many years to come.’
