BAE Systems Unveils New CV90 D-Series Turret

BAE Systems unveiled its latest CV90 combat vehicle featuring the new D-series turret at the Defence and Security Equipment International in London.

The addition of a 50mm new turret to the CV90 was part of a $500 million upgrade contract for the CV9035NL. The position of the primary weapon was changed, partly for improved vehicle balance and to allow room for a better set of weapons, improving the lethality of the combat vehicle.

The design and function of the new turret is the product of a collaboration between seven countries that currently operate the CV90 fleet, collectively known as the “CV90 User Club.”
