BAE Systems has signed a commercial agreement with the Danish Ministry of Defence’s Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) to provide repair and maintenance services for the Danish Army’s CV90s for a period of 15 years.
Under the contract, worth approximately US$ 400 million (DKK 3,000,000,000), BAE Systems will provide an enhanced level of serviceability for the infantry fighting vehicles. The agreement includes repair and maintenance services for the Army’s fleet of 44 CV90 units, as well as the delivery of spare parts at a time when the service’s operational tempo remains at a high level.
“This important agreement will guarantee the functionality of the Danish Army’s fleet of CV90s and ensure that they continue to operate at a high level of capability and pace for many years to come,” said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, chief executive of BAE Systems Hägglunds, the company that designs and builds the CV90. “We are proud to provide these essential capabilities to the customer.”
The CV90 infantry fighting vehicle offers world-leading, combat-proven capability in the 20 to 38 ton class. It integrates a wide range of weapon systems that can be used against a wide variety of targets by ground forces around the world.
With a total of 1,700 vehicles in service or on order, in 17 different variants, the CV90 has covered more than eight million kilometers to date. Ten European nations, seven of which are NATO members, have chosen the vehicle, which has already taken part in combat in Liberia, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
