Excerpt: The Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90) or Stridsfordon 90 (Strf 90) is a Swedish infantry fighting vehicle designed by Hägglunds/Bofors and currently produced by BAE Systems Hägglunds. During the Cold War, Hägglunds started the production of a new family of Combat Vehicles called Combat Vehicle 90. In 1984, the Swedish army desired a unique vehicle with high mobility, air defence and anti-tank capability, high survivability and protection. In total five prototypes were developed; deliveries took place in 1988. These prototypes were tested during extensive trials for three years between 1988 to 1991. The first deliveries started in 1993, and now over 1000 CV90's have been delivered worldwide. The basic armor of the CV9040 provides all-round protection against 14.5mm armour-piercing rounds. A passive armour can be added, which protect over the frontal 60° arc against 30mm APFSDS rounds. Some variants, including the CV9030N, can be fitted with a ceramic appliqué armor (MEXAS) which provides all-round protection against 30mm APFSDS. This armour kit is intended to provide increased protection against Improvised explosive device, Explosively formed
