Neways starts deliveries of Saab’s UTAAS systems for CV90
EMS provider Neways has begun production and delivery of critical sub-systems for Saab’s UTAAS (Universal Tank and Anti-Aircraft System) integrated sight and fire control systems, used on BAE Systems’ CV90 infantry fighting vehicles.
According to Neways, the deliveries are part of a partnership with Saab established in 2024 and cover multiple key sub-systems for UTAAS destined for CV90 vehicles operated by several NATO countries. The scope also includes testing of complete UTAAS systems for the Slovak Army.
The company said it has completed the first deliveries under the contract from its recently opened 22,000-square-metre production facility in Slovakia. The site is intended to support the industrialisation and scaling of UTAAS production to meet increasing demand.
Neways stated that the expansion of UTAAS production in Slovakia strengthens the local industrial footprint and supports long-term sustainment of the CV90 fleet across multiple European nations.
“I am proud that Neways can make a leading contribution to European defence-related product development and industrialisation. This latest order from Saab marks an important next step in our partnership. Our new large-scale production facility in Slovakia is ideally set up to deliver Saab’s UTAAS products and to support Saab in its continued growth,” said Hans Büthker, CEO of Neways, in a press release
