CATV contract is to be signed this year 
(ontwikkeling om de Bv206 en de BvS10 te vervangen, CATV is een doorontwikkeling van de BvS10. Beowulf is een ongepantserde versie, de CATV zal waarschijnlijk weer een doorontwikkeling zijn van de Beowulf, maar dan gepantserd en verder aangepast naar gevraagde militaire standaard/ eisen )

An invitation to tender was sent to BAE Systems Hägglunds in December 2021 to acquire 500-900 platforms based on the latest version of the BvS10.

Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK will sign a contract to purchase 500-900 vehicles under the Collaborative All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) programme with deliveries starting in 2023, as the four militaries seek to enhance their Arctic capabilities.

Sweden, as the lead nation and Central Purchasing Body, issued an invitation to tender (ITT) to BAE Systems Hägglunds in December 2021 to acquire a platform based on the latest version of the BvS10.

A company spokesperson confirmed that BAE Systems Hägglunds is now working on preparing a response to the ITT.

BAE Systems wins US Army deal for Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle   (goed nieuws !, maar waarom de ongepantserde versie ?)

The U.S. Army has selected BAE Systems to produce its new Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle, picking the contractor over an Oshkosh Defense-ST Engineering team.

The service awarded BAE's U.S. unit and its Swedish business a $278 million contract that includes production units, spare parts and contractor logistics support, according to an Aug. 22 company statement.

To replace its aging Small Unit Support Vehicle, known as SUSV, the Army evaluated both offerings in Alaska's Cold Regions Test Center from August to December 2021.

The SUSV — also built by BAE Systems — is based on 1960s and 1970s technology and was last procured in the early 1980s. The Army plans to buy 163 Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicles.

BAE submitted to the competition Beowulf, an unarmored, tracked vehicle that can carry people and payloads in either of its two compartments.

"Beowulf can traverse snow, ice, rock, sand, mud, and swamp conditions, and can operate in steep mountain environments," the company statement says. "Its amphibious feature also allows it to swim in flooded areas or coastal waters."

The Army is the first customer for Beowulf, which is based on the BvS10 armored variant used by five European countries: Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France and Austria.

BAE Systems has signed a $120 million (SEK 800m) contract to supply an additional 102 BvS10 all-terrain vehicles to Sweden.

The new sale is the result of an extended contract option taken out when the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) announced a purchase of 48 BvS10 armored vehicles from BAE Systems Hägglunds in January 2012.



The vehicles will be delivered in different variants — troop carrier, command vehicle, ambulance, and logistic carrier. They will be manufactured in BAE Systems Hägglunds´ refurbished production facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden with deliveries beginning in 2014 and ending in 2015.

The Swedish go-anywhere BvS10s feature enhanced crew ergonomics, internal volume and increased protection, plus integration of the Protector remote weapon station, radio, and battlefield management systems. Smoke grenade launchers are also fitted to give 360 degree coverage.

Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France all operate the BvS10 and more than 10,000 of the earlier, smaller BV206 family of vehicles have been sold around the world. BAE Systems Hägglunds' all-terrain vehicle family is also gaining interest for use in humanitarian aid and disaster relief around the globe.

BAE Systems Hägglunds is part of BAE Systems, Inc. in the United States, which employs 40,000 around the world — approximately 34,000 in the United States — with major operations in 38 states, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Israel, and South Africa.
