Sweden's FMV is working to extend the life of its CV90 combat vehicles, operational for up to 30 years, in collaboration with HB Utveckling AB until 2031. The initiative ensures the fleet remains functional until at least 2045, with updated prototypes to be manufactured for evaluation before serial production.

Currently, there are about 500 Strf 90 units in service with the Swedish Army. Sweden plans a joint procurement with Denmark for 50 CV9035 MkIIIC vehicles by December 2024, enhancing capabilities with a 35mm Bushmaster III cannon.

Future prototypes may include anti-drone systems. Sweden will replace anti-aircraft Lvkv 90s in 2026 for NATO commitments.
