The ARCV 05 (Acrean-Ruvelkan Combat Vehicle 2005) is a family of armored fighting vehicle jointly produced between Acrea’s Landrut Systemet and Ruvelka’s S & T Dynamics. The ARCV 05 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, a SAM launcher, an anti-tank missile launcher, mortar carrier, command and control vehicle, ambulance, and R&R vehicle. Adoption of the ARCV 05 by the Acrean Army was passed over in favour of an upgrade program for its existing Strf 95 infantry fighting vehicles, and further development of what would become the Strf 15 The Ruvelkan variant has been designated TPSJ2.
