The ARCV 95 (Acrean-Ruvelkan Combat Vehicle 1995) is a family of armored fighting vehicle jointly developed and produced by Acrea’s Landrut AB and Ruvelka’s S & T Dynamics. The ARCV 95 is a multi-role platform with a number of varying configurations outside of its primarily IFV design; these include a light tank equipped with a 105mm gun, mortar carrier, command and control vehicle, and ambulance. The ARCV 95 began to be supplemented in 2005 in Ruvelkan service by the ARCV 05, but Adoption of the ARCV 05 by the Acrean Army was passed over in favour of developing a new generation of its variants of the ARCV 95 infantry fighting vehicles, and further development of what would become the CV25. The ARCV 95 was adopted in Acrean service as the CV95, and in Ruvelkan service as the TSPJ1.
