BAE Systems has demonstrated the capabilities of its CV90 platform to the Brazilian Army at a private event at the Centro de Avaliações do Exército (CAEx).

Designed and produced by the Company’s Hägglunds business in Sweden, the CV90 family of vehicles provides high tactical and strategic mobility, air defence, anti-tank capability, high survivability and protection in any terrain or tactical environment. It is the world’s leading infantry fighting vehicle, evolving constantly to retain its leadership position thanks to inputs from the armed forces using the platform.

More than 1,300 CV90s are in service with eight countries. Both Slovakia (152) and the Czech Republic (246) recently placed orders for a combined 398 more vehicles.

Marco Caffe, Brazil Country Director, BAE Systems, said: “It has been great to demonstrate the proven capability of the CV90 to the Brazilian Army. We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase the vehicle’s technology and versatility to help the Army gather information about equipment being used by other countries around the world as part of its regular assessments of available technologies.

“Protection, partnership and prosperity are the foundation of the BAE Systems relationship with Brazil dating back more than 100 years. We provided the Army’s M113 combat vehicles, the Navy’s Amazonas class ships and aircraft of many types to the Air Force. The company partners with leading Brazilian companies, such as Embraer and EMGEPRON, to deliver for the Brazilian military as well as for export overseas. We look forward to continuing to work together to support the delivery of national security and economic prosperity for Brazil.”
