BAE Systems has started delivering the first BvS10 all-terrain armored amphibious vehicles to Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom as part of the joint Collaborative All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program.
The delivery ceremony took place at the BAE Systems Hägglunds factory in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, marking the start of a procurement program that plans to deliver 663 vehicles by 2028.
The vehicles are based on the latest version of the BvS10, featuring a dual cabin and articulated steering system, and include variants for troop transport, logistics, medical evacuation, command and control, as well as mortar transport. Designed to operate in extreme conditions, the BvS10 has articulated tracks that allow movement over snow, ice, rocks, sand, swamps, and mountainous terrain, and it is also amphibious for operations in flooded areas and coastal waters.
Under the CATV framework agreement, Sweden will receive 236 units, the United Kingdom 60, and Germany 140, with an additional 227 vehicles ordered by Germany under a supplementary contract. The program aims not only to modernize the fleet but also to improve troop and material mobility, including weapons, ammunition, and specialized equipment, in difficult terrain under extreme weather conditions.
The BvS10 is already in operation in Austria, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The expansion of the CATV program strengthens multinational cooperation in transport and mobility solutions for operations in challenging regions, particularly mountainous and Arctic areas, serving as a model for joint defense procurement and industrial integration among the participating countries.
