Korhonen also noted that the effort will be performed in collaboration with the end-users of CV9030 FIN.
CV90 represents a family of armoured combat vehicles developed by BAE Systems Land Systems Hägglunds of Örnsköldsvik and Saab Bofors Dynamics of Karlskoga, Sweden.
Versions of the CV90 IFV include the CV9040 with 40mm gun and the export variant, the CV9030 with 30mm gun.
In October last year, the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) was set to procure night vision devices from Senop to enhance its fighting capabilities in low light conditions.
Senop focuses on delivering advanced optronic solutions for the defence and industrial markets and has operations in four Finnish locations.
