Denmark Orders SEK 350 Million in Saab CV90 Live-Training Equipment

Denmark’s Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation has placed a SEK 350 million order with Saab for live-training equipment supporting the country’s CV90 exercises. Deliveries are scheduled from 2026 through 2028. The order expands Denmark’s instrumented training capability with scenarios involving drones, non-line-of-sight engagements, and long-range precision effects, giving soldiers opportunities to rehearse tactics against conditions relevant to contemporary operations.

The equipment includes Saab’s Instrumented Laser Duel System for the CV90. Saab said the system will bring these additional capabilities into live, instrumented field exercises. Saab Training and Simulation business unit head Joakim Alhbin said, “Training must evolve as fast as the battlefield.” He added that incorporating drones and long-range precision effects lets soldiers “train as they will operate and build confidence before facing these situations for real.” The stated training purpose is to make exercises more representative of how forces may operate, rather than to signal a separate vehicle procurement.

The order builds on Denmark’s 2025 Combat Training Centre contract with Saab, which established four training sites. Saab described the new delivery as a further development of that capability, with Alhbin saying Denmark is continuing to develop “one of the most modern and flexible Combat Training Centres in Europe.” For procurement observers, the prior contract and current order indicate continuity in Denmark’s training-system investment. The current award, however, has already been placed with Saab; the source does not describe an open solicitation or identify a competition for the equipment order.

For other contractors, the most relevant areas to monitor are potential follow-on requirements connected to the upgraded training environment. Companies with capabilities in training-system integration, exercise design, instrumentation, technical support, or sustainment can assess whether their offerings align with Denmark’s evolving CV90 training capability. Any such work remains a potential opportunity rather than a confirmed procurement: the source provides no scope, schedule, or funding for follow-on contracts. Suppliers should track announcements from the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation and assess how their capabilities could complement the system being delivered through 2028.
