BAE Systems Plc is scheduling a test of its CV90 armored combat vehicle in Brazil this year, an executive told Reuters, as it seeks to provide information about the product to local armed forces ahead of a potential purchase decision.
BAE's vice president for international market creation, Marc Collins, said the company had been talking with local industry and the army about the "possible future project," which could lead to the replacement of Brazil's current tanks.
"The projects we seek to do, we very much envision as being done in Brazil, for Brazil, in cooperation with or led by Brazilian industry," Collins said in an interview at the LAAD defense exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, where BAE showcased the vehicle through virtual reality. It remains unclear how soon Brazil might look to replace any of its current tank fleet, which includes locally produced Guarani and Cascavel models and also M113 armored personnel carriers from the United States.
