BAE SYSTEMS SECURES CONTRACT FOR MID-LIFE UPGRADE OF THE DANISH CV90 FLEET

BAE Systems has signed a contract with the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) for the Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) of the Danish CV90 fleet, ensuring the vehicles’ performance for many years to come.

Under the contract, the Danish CV90 infantry fighting vehicles will be integrated with the new D-series turret, a leap forward in design and functionality which provides significant improvements in vehicle balance and new ways to introduce a variety of weaponry for increased lethality. The new vehicle also offers considerable ergonomic improvements to its crew and is built on years of combat-proven experience, continuous vehicle improvements, and data analysis from the CV90 User Club. The User Club consists of all of the user nations operating CV90 fleets.

The upgrades include equipping the Danish CV90s with rubber tracks that both decrease the vehicle’s weight, freeing up payload for the addition of new systems, as well as reduce noise and vibrations, to minimize long-term bio-mechanical impact on crew and reduce crew fatigue. The upgraded vehicles will have an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) and Defence Aid Suite (DAS) sensor system—increasing both the lethality and protection of the Danish troops. The delivery of the program is planned between 2026 and 2029 and will be executed in close cooperation with Danish industry and partners.
