Swedish rugged IT contractor wins Norwegian deal to provide the country’s CV90 combat vehicles with new computers.
Sweden’s MilDef has signed a SEK72 million (US$7.1 million) deal to supply 900 rugged computers as part of the modernisation of Norway’s fleet of CV90 combat vehicles.
Deliveries for the order, which was signed with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA), will take place in 2025 and will see MilDef’s customised and rugged computers replace older computers in the Norwegian Armed Forces’ CV90 combat vehicles built by BAE Systems Hägglunds.
The contractor has what it termed a “long-standing collaboration with the NDMA” with the deal forming part of a framework agreement it has had with the agency since 2020 to provide it with military IT solutions.
MilDef CEO Daniel Ljunggren remarked: “This is our single largest order of computers to the Norwegian Armed Forces and contributes to a significant modernisation of the existing fleet of CV90.”
Ljunggren claimed that the deal was an example of “how the [CV90] platforms are constantly evolving with more powerful IT infrastructure and digitalisation”.
In November last year, the company signed a deal with an unnamed European nation to provide tactical IT equipment as part of a SEK30 million contract. The deal included MilDef's deployment software OneCIS, which was to be used on both static and deployable infrastructure.
