Last CV90 demo, September 2025The CV90 is one of the most successful Western infantry fighting vehicles. At the same time, the effectiveness of its work is largely due to satellite communications. As the Ukrainian conflict has shown, Russian electronic warfare systems are capable of creating serious trouble for Western equipment by blocking its access to GPS. Against this background, attempts are being made to circumvent interference.
In 2025-2029, the British company Raytheon UK will equip CV90 infantry fighting vehicles manufactured by the Swedish branch of BAE Systems (in the interests of an unnamed customer) with anti-interference Landshield Plus antennas, which are designed to increase the stability of GPS navigation during the operation of equipment.

The Landshield Plus includes a seven-element antenna and processor housed in one housing and designed to protect against electronic interference. The sensor provides the equipment operator with information about interference signals and the location of their source. The complex operates in the L1 and L2 frequency ranges of GPS, as well as Galileo E1 (OS), simultaneously protecting against 6 sources of interference (broadband, narrowband, frequency-modulated, pulse or selective).

The key factor in the development of the equipment was the ease of its integration, so that the operator could easily integrate jamming protection technology into their battle formations.
The Landshield Plus, with its compact and lightweight design, weighs 2.95 kg, has a diameter of 198 mm and a height of 70 mm. The antenna does not require much energy, operating from a 28 V DC source and consuming 18 watts.
