The infanterikanonvagn 91 (ikv 91), lit. 'infantry cannon wagon 91', was a high mobility assault gun that was developed to meet the operational requirements of the Swedish Army. It was designed and manufactured by Hägglund & Söner (whose military vehicle business is now BAE Systems Hägglunds) and employed common components with the Pbv 302 armoured personnel carrier series. The first prototypes of the ikv 91 were completed in 1969 with production running from 1975 until 1978.^[2] In total, 212 were manufactured.
