Saab has been contracted to deliver the Universal Tank and Anti-Aircraft System (UTAAS) sighting and fire control system for the Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90) infantry fighting vehicle.

BAE Systems Hägglunds awarded the 700-million Swedish kronor ($63 million) contract as the original equipment manufacturer of the CV90.

”UTAAS was specifically developed for the Combat Vehicle 90, as a result Saab and BAE Systems Hägglunds have a long and strong partnership,” Head of Business Area Surveillance at Saab Carl-Johan Bergholm said.

“Combat Vehicle 90 is an effective and appreciated combat vehicle which is now in high demand by different armed forces worldwide. To meet the increased demand, we have strengthened our production capacity.”

Universal Tank and Anti-Aircraft System

The integrated sight- and fire control system offers a high hit probability against all land and air targets, including helicopters.

It has a maximum firing range of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet) and a high-hit probability range of up to 2,000 meters (6,562 feet) against air targets.

The system’s stabilized independent line of sight keeps the target in the center of the reticle, while the fire-control computer controls gun-laying or aiming a gun at a target.

“The beam paths for all channels go through the same aperture, offering good system stability and no need for realignment,” Saab explained.

“The design of the top module allows large deflection angles in both azimuth and elevation to be achieved. These are essential for effective combat of fast aircraft.”

Modular Design

The system’s modular design offers the user a variety of performance and sensor options, including a variety of anti-laser eye protection methods and a range of thermal imagers.

“The system can be customized for various weapon systems and integrated with command and control systems. It also has an interface to smart ammunition programming units,” the manufacturer added.

UTAAS is compatible with tanks and combat vehicles and is in service with the CV90 fleets of Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Estonia.
