Cv9030

Finnish Defence Forces - Army - Cv9030.

The CV90 is a family of modular ground combat vehicles designed to carry out the most part of modern mechanized units missions. The CV90 vehicles are extremely agile, all-terrain capable, with minimized radar and IR signatures to achieve high survivability. They also feature reduced maintenance costs and high growth potential. The CV90's turret is electrically operated and houses a UTAAS sight providing day/night and all-weather detection and fire control capabilities.

The CV90 vehicles are the result of a joint venture between Bofors Defence and Hagglunds. The first CV90 vehicles where delivered to the Swedish Army in 1993. In addition, Norway, Switzerland and Finland have ordered CV90 armored vehicles.

The CV90 vehicles weighing 20 to 30 tons are powered by a single Scania DI16 diesel engine providing 600-670 hp.

The CV9030 is an infantry fighting vehicle featuring a 30mm fully stabilized automatic cannon, a 7.62mm machine gun, a crew of 3-man (commander, gunner and driver) and 8 ready-to-fight infantry troops. This vehicle is able to carry 8 soldiers to the front-line of the battlefield, while providing close-in fire support to dismounted troops.
