Denmark: Siltanews – News Desk
Denmark has now completed the final steps in the multinational Common Armored Vehicle System (CAVS) program by signing the last three agreements simultaneously: the R&D Agreement, the Frame Agreement, and the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Agreement. This follows the signing of the Technical Arrangement with all participating countries as recently as in April 2025.
Following this, Denmark also orders 129 CAVS 6×6 armored vehicles based on Patria 6×6 within the program. The first vehicles will be delivered already this year. Denmark is the fifth nation after Finland, Latvia, Sweden and Germany to join the program.
“Patria is very pleased to see that now also Denmark has moved to the serial procurement phase. The speedy and swift progress of Denmark taking all needed steps within the CAVS program has been an excellent example of current multinational cooperation as it should be, targeting to increased interoperability and the security of supply between allied nations. CAVS program continues to be a prime example for creating the desired common defense capabilities in a quick and cost-effective manner”, says Mats Warstedt, Vice President.
Within the CAVS program, the 6×6 armored vehicle system development is led by Patria that has more than four decades of experience in developing, delivering and supporting state-of-the-art protected troop transportation and system integration. The supply of vehicles is conducted by utilizing the member nations’ local industry capabilities, and every new nation is inherently reinforcing the security of supply for the whole collaboration system. Patria has already received orders for nearly 1,000 Patria 6×6 vehicles and has delivered more than 200. The program is open to countries with similar equipment requirements, by mutual consent of the participating countries.
Patria will take part in Denmark’s largest defense industry exhibition DALO Industry Days in Bellerup, Denmark, on 20 – 21 August, 2025. The event is hosted by The Danish Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO). Also the CAVS 6×6 armored vehicle will be displayed at the event.
