Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) Programme Strengthens with Germany's Involvement

Finland-led Initiative Gains Momentum

Germany Signs Statement of Intent

The Finnish-led Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) programme has received a significant boost with Germany signing a statement of intent to join. Originally established by Finland and Latvia, the programme has since expanded to include Sweden and now Germany.

The CAVS programme aims to develop a new generation of armoured vehicles for participating nations. The need for improved mobility and protection of ground forces, as well as the recognition of the advantages of collaborating on defence projects, drove the establishment of the programme in 2021.

Germany's involvement is a testament to the growing recognition of the CAVS programme. Its participation brings additional resources, expertise, and political support to the project. The joint effort among participating nations allows for the sharing of costs, risks, and technological advancements, resulting in a more efficient and effective development process.

As the programme continues to progress, it is expected to attract further interest from other nations seeking to enhance their ground forces. The CAVS programme represents a significant collaboration in European defence, demonstrating the importance of international cooperation in addressing common security challenges.
