https://www.janes.com/defence-news/land ... 9035nl-mluThe Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) is considering multiple engineering change proposals for its CV9035NL mid-life upgrade (MLU) infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), Janes learnt at Defence iQ's International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) 2024 conference held in London from 22 to 25 January.
These proposals include modifying the Elbit Systems Iron Fist Light Decoupled (IF-LD) hard-kill active protection system (APS) to enable it to perform a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) role, integrating the Elbit Systems mast-mounted Commander Open Architecture Panoramic Sight (COAPS) with the platform's Rafael Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launcher, and adding a day channel to the driver's front and rear camera systems, which will be delivered with just a thermal channel.
An update on the programme's schedule was also provided at IAV 2024, where its was revealed that firing trials with the Spike LR2 pop-up ATGM-launcher were due to start in the week commencing on 29 January. The Spike LR2 ATGM launcher allows the platform to engage heavily armoured targets such as main battle tanks, although the cannon cannot be used when the launcher is open and the platform cannot move when a missile is being launched because the Spike LR2 uses a wire to transfer data between the missile and the launcher.
These trials will precede the completion of the first production-standard example of the CV9036NL MLU, which is scheduled to take place on 15 May 2024.

Belangrijke wijziging
De operationele beproeving is afgerond in december 2023. Door supply chain knelpunten van de fabrikant en subleveranciers en extra software-updates is dit project met 4 maanden verlengd. De uitlevering van de eerste gemoderniseerde voertuigen staat gepland voor tweede kwartaal 2024. De Final Design Review vindt in de zomer van 2024 plaats, waarna firma Van Halteren de Nederlandse serieproductie start.

https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/ ... voertuigenDe landmacht gebruikt TACTIS sinds 2008 om gemechaniseerde eenheden snel en nauwkeurig technische en tactische vaardigheden bij te brengen. Binnen TACTIS zijn verschillende wapensystemen te simuleren en te bedienen. Denk aan het CV90-infanteriegevechtsvoertuig en de Leopard 2 A6-tank.
https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwid ... ed-vehicleThe TACTIS centre is uniquely capable of interconnecting up to 76 simulators simultaneously, allowing for mission rehearsals with up to 200 crew members. This synergy is further enhanced by the integration of up to 2,500 virtual entities known as “Computer-Generated Forces”, enabling force members to conduct exercises in a combined arms environment.
The contract will fully modernise the TACTIS centre for the Royal Netherlands Army. This modernisation will include the simulation of more than 20 new types of vehicles, including the new generation of combat vehicle, the CV90 MkIV. Thales will cooperate with BAE Hägglunds, the vehicle manufacturer, to deliver high-fidelity simulations. The modernized training centre will also offer the ability to integrate future weapon systems that will be deployed within the Royal Netherlands Army, such as the LEO2A8 main battle tank.
