A new version of the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) optimised for the British Army's Future Rapid Effect System - Scout (FRES - Scout) requirement has been completed by BAE Systems Global Combat Systems.
The vehicle, built with company funding, has already carried out initial mobility trials at the Millbrook Proving Ground and initial firing trials at Shoeburyness firing range.
The modified CV90, which has a combat weight of around 30 tonnes, features a slightly shorter and lower-profile chassis and a door, rather than a ramp, in the rear.
The chassis is fitted with a new two-person turret that leverages from the BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Manned Turret Integration Programme 2 (MTIP2), which has already gained manned crew clearance. BAE Systems has invested over GBP25 million (USD41 million) in this turret development.
The turret is armed with the CTAI 40 mm Case Telescoped Armament System, which has already been mandated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) not only for this vehicle but also for the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP), for which bids have to be submitted to the MoD in mid-November.
