BAE Systems has signed a framework agreement with the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) to provide repair and maintenance services for the Royal Danish Army’s fleet of CV90 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) over a period of 15 years, the company announced on 28 February 2024.
Under the agreement, which is worth approximately USD 400 million (EUR 367 million), BAE Systems will provide an upgraded level of operability for the IFVs. The agreement covers repair and maintenance services for the Royal Danish Army’s fleet of 44 CV90s, such as the delivery of spare parts at a time when the service’s operational tempo remains at a high level.
“This important agreement will secure the functionality of the Danish Army’s fleet of CV90s and will ensure that they remain operating at a high capability level and tempo for many years to come,” stated Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of BAE Systems Hägglunds, the company which designs and builds the CV90. “We are proud to deliver these critical capabilities to the customer.”
The CV90, variants of which weigh between 20 and 38 tonnes, integrates a number of weapon systems, providing capability against a wide array of targets to land forces around the world. There are 1,700 CV90s, in 17 different variants, in service or on order. Ten European nations have selected the vehicle and it has seen combat in Liberia, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.
