The Czech Ministry of Defence has summarized ongoing collaboration with Czech companies on the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle project, which is being implemented in partnership with BAE Systems Hägglunds. This cooperation creates new opportunities for Czech firms to participate in BAE Systems' global supply chain.

 

According to the ministry, the project has seen significant progress, including the completion of a prototype cannon turret and final configuration adjustments to meet Czech requirements. Additionally, test firings have been conducted, and the first components of the vehicle chassis are being pressed from acquired steel. The industrial collaboration between the Swedish vehicle manufacturer and Czech companies is also being strengthened.
