Cyber tools will augment CV90s
It appears that a Dutch IFV upgrade programme will include enhanced cybersecurity.
Swedish company Clavister on 4 February announced a ‘record deal’ to embed cybersecurity features in the CV90 IFV, as part of an MLU being conducted by BAE Systems Hägglunds.
While Clavister did not divulge the operator of the CV90s being upgraded, it noted that the MLU covers 122 CV90s with an option for a further 19: this tallies with a recently announced Royal Netherlands Army programme lasting until 2025.
Each vehicle will be fitted with NATO-standard embedded cybersecurity features, in the form of an RSG-400 gateway and RSW-400 secure network switch. These solutions are developed under an existing framework agreement between Clavister and BAE Systems Hägglunds.
The deal is worth up to SEK90 million ($10.6 million) to Clavister.
