Saab was demonstrating the CB90 NG during DSEI 2021 in London. Naval News talked to Anders Hellman, head of business unit Docksta, and Gustav Kjellberg, FMV (Swedish defence procurement agency) to learn what is new in this "NG" variant as well as the capabilities of the CB90 NG.

=====================

This CB90 Next Generation (CB90 NG) features new capabilities as well as many of the features that the original CB90 is famous for. Designed to swiftly transport marines and other forces, CB90 is renowned for the ease by which troops can rapidly get on-shore and depart again, be it a beach or an awkward, elevated rocky shore. CB90 NG builds on that capability and, depending on the mission, can take on different roles in the sensor and combat chain. CB90 NG includes a new combat management system and sensors for surveillance, ballistic protection, as well as further improved stealth, manoeuvrability and speed. By providing amphibious forces with multi-mission capabilities, CB90 NG is an even more potent means by which to project force from the sea.

The CB90 NG present at DSEI 2021 was recently delivered to the Swedish Navy, with the designation Docksta CB 90HSM.

    Here in Mexico CB90s do a great job as Polaris-class interceptor pattrol boats. A good platform agains pirates and narcos.
  • There's bloody Vikings on the Thames! Been a while since anyone said that. Longboats have sure got cooler... (Nobody mention the Vasa!)
  • @billwhoever2830
    now mount a M230 chain gun with programable ammo instead of the 50cal and you have a much more lethal weapon station
  • @TheHammer12
    I see that there are 18 seats, but there seems to be more space fore more peole if they sit on the floor.
  • Come on now gustav feels like your not happy 😆 Nice lookin boat !!
  • @camovault
    Install a M134 or even GAU19 then this boat is a true little beast
  • Can the remote weaponstation identify, find and neutralise small drones or high flying drones that you will be facing?

    Should have a minimum 30mm cannon and high velocity 40 mm automatic grenade launcher or a .50 cal minigun and x2 .30 or .50 cal coaxial pintle mounted machine guns either side, woefully undergunned for a naval vessel 'APC' type craft, it can't suppress anything of significance.
