The BVS10 - is an All Terrain Armoured Vehicle produced by BAE Systems Hagglunds of Sweden. This vehicle, referred to as Viking by the UK forces, was originally developed as a collaboration between industry - Hagglunds Vehicle AB - and the UK MOD on behalf of the Royal Marines Commandos. The BVS10, not to be confused with the BV206 or BV206S, is a much larger and fully amphibious armoured vehicle based upon the characteristic twin-cab, articulated steering system typical of Hagglunds all terrain vehicles. Originally designed for the British Royal Marines Commandos and named Viking, the vehicle underwent an extensive trials and development programme from 2001 - 2004, led by Major Jez Hermer MBE RM, before the Royal Marines accepted 108 vehicles into service, with delivery commencing in 2005. The Royal Marines Armoured Support Company took the vehicle onto operations for the first time in Afghanistan in September 2006.
