Combat Vehicle 90

The Combat Vehicle 90, usually written CV90, is a family of Swedish tracked infantry fighting vehicles and related armoured variants. It was designed in the mid-1980s and early 1990s by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration with Hagglund and Soner and Bofors, and deliveries to the Swedish Army began in 1994. The platform was built for the Nordic subarctic climate, with good mobility in snow and wetlands, and carries a crew and a squad of dismounted soldiers. It has been developed through several marks and is used in many variants, including command, forward observer, anti-aircraft, recovery and engineering versions, by Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and other states. The maker's involvement passed from Hagglund and Soner to Alvis Hagglunds in 1997 and BAE Systems Hagglunds in 2004, so the vehicle is now a BAE Systems product.
