The (CV90) or '''Stridsfordon 90''' (Strf 90) is a
Swedish Infantry Fighting Vehicle designed by Hägglunds/Bofors and currently produced by
BAE Systems Hägglunds .
Production of the CV 90 began in 1993, and over 1,000 vehicles have been ordered.
- CV9040 - The original model with a 40mm Bofors Autocannon
- CV9030 - Export version with a 30 mm Bushmaster II Autocannon . (Adopted by Norway , Switzerland and Finland )
- CV9035 - Armed with a Bushmaster III 35/50 cannon. (Adopted by the Netherlands and Denmark )
- CV90105 - 105 mm smoothbore tank turret/gun.
- CV90120-T - Has a tank turret armed with a Smoothbore 120 mm gun.
- CV9040 AAV - Anti-Air Vehicle, fitted with radar and 40 mm AA gun.
- CV90 Forward Command Vehicle
- CV90 Forward Observation Vehicle
- CV90 Armored Recovery Vehicle
The forward observation and command vehicles are only armed with a machine gun, but could be equipped with a dummy main gun to prevent them from being identified.
The CV 90 has also been fitted with the
AMOS (Advanced Mortar System).
Sweden originally planed for a mix of CV9040 and CV9030 but finally decided on the 40 mm version, due to the much higher potential of the larger calibre. Other customers seems to have focused on the higher rate of fire and the larger amount of ammunition that the 30 mm brings.
In June 2004,
Finland ordered 45 CV9030 vehicles for a cost of €120 million. This works out at €2.67 million per vehicle. In late 2004
Finland made another purchase, bringing the overall quantity ordered to over 100.
