At a recent press conference (September 17, 2025), we informed the public about the expansion of cooperation between the Swedish arms manufacturer BAE Systems Hägglunds and our company KOVAL SYSTEMS. In addition to manufacturing turrets for CV90MkIV armored combat vehicles, we will also participate in the development of a unique self-loading mechanism for CV90120 tanks.

This important collaboration is also discussed in an article entitled "Slovakia may have its own share in one of the most modern tank technologies" published by the Slovak periodical Denník N. In addition to several interesting facts, you will also find interviews with representatives of BAE Systems and KOVAL SYSTEMS, which were conducted during a press conference.

In the first video, Tarkan Turkcan, Director of the CV90 platform at BAE Systems Hägglunds, and Ivan Rohaľ, Director of BAE Systems Hägglunds for Slovakia & Hungary, will tell you more about:
● the uniqueness and effectiveness of the new self-loading mechanism compared to standard loading mechanisms,
● the key factor in which its benefits will be evident in combat conditions,
● how the CV90120 tank, equipped with the new mechanism, can compete with the main German Leopard battle tank.

On behalf of our company, KOVAL SYSTEMS, a. s., the Sales Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ján Michálek, appeared in the second video in the article. He provides viewers with further details about the new collaboration:
● what decided our involvement in the development of the new project,

● our role in the development process,
