This Request for Information (RFI) is related to a new generation of tracked combat vehicles intended for use as infantry fighting vehicles as well as for other combat and combat support roles, primarily within mechanized battalions in army brigades. The primary purpose of this RFI is to gather information that will help establish a refined understanding of the market situation regarding Infantry Fighting Vehicles systems, which will serve as a basis for planning and assessing future acquisition programmes. The RFI consists of a Letter together with a Main Document and its annexes A-D.

Request for Information (RFI) regarding Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) hat geschrieben:RFI Scope Overview

The SwAF is undergoing a transformation to extensively grow and modernize the forces in order to substantially increase its readiness and capability to perform large scale operations. Warfighting capabilities under Sub-Arctic conditions (i.e. in Northern Scandinavia) is of high priority. In order to enable this, the Army has a need for an increased number of modern tracked combat vehicles.

Efforts to achieve this can be categorized into three streams:

1. Modernization of the current fleet of Combat Vehicle 90.
2. Acquisition of additional IFV of current standard.
3. Introduction of a new generation of tracked combat vehicles from around 2030.

This RFI is related to the above-mentioned Stream 3. The new generation of tracked combat vehicles is to be used as infantry fighting vehicles and for other combat and combat support roles primarily in mechanized battalions within the framework of army brigades.

Current planning is to begin introduction of a new generation of combat vehicles in brigades specially designed for Sub-Arctic conditions and to use it in parallel with the current fleet of combat vehicles. In long term (2040-2045), the new generation is intended to fully replace the current fleet of CV90, also in mechanized units designated for operations in southern Sweden and central Europe.

The planned timeline for the programme includes achieving Initial Operational Capability (IOC) with a battalion-sized unit in early 2030´s starting with IFV variant and subsequently building up forces in numbers and additional roles the coming years.
