Developed by a consortium that includes Daimler Steyr and the Hellenic Defence Industry (EBO), the "Leonidas" armored infantry fighting vehicle, or AIFV, is the backbone of both the Greek Army and the Cypriot National Guard.
The "Leonidas" is also the progenitor of the "Kentauros" next generation AIFV that Greece is developing, hoping to capture an export market.
"Kentauros" is meant to match the capabilities of the American Bradley AIFV which has seen use in both the first and second Persian Gulf war.

 International Tracked APCs
FMC went on to develop what became the Bradley, but the AIFV was, in the meantime, sold to some of the US’s NATO partners, especially to Belgium and the Netherlands, who bought them in large numbers, and eventually obtained a license to build them in their countries.
The basic AIFV IFV is basically an M-113 chassis with appliqué armor added to the HF and HR, a turret mounting a light autocannon mounted on top, two firing ports on each side and one in the rear, a searchlight, and a better suspension for a smoother ride.
The AIFV CPV is the command post carrier variant of the AIFV, used by Belgium and the Netherlands.

 Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle 2000
The Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle 2000 (AIFV 2000) is based on the CV90 armoured infantry fighting vehicle family delivered to the Swedish armed forces since 1993 (with 40mm gun) and a few years later to the Norwegian armed forces (with 30mm gun).
The AIFV 2000 and Command Post AIFV 2000 are assigned to the mechanised infantry companies of the armoured brigades and will be employed together with the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tanks.
Its mobility, fire power, and protection allow the AIFV 2000 to transport the mechanised infantry units directly to their operations area.

 Remarks to the Joint Consultative Group   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Chairman, we are watching with interest in Washington the discussions the JCG is having on the armored infantry fighting vehicle (AIFV) known as the BRM-1K.
As you know, this equipment item was declared as an AIFV at signature of the CFE Treaty in 1990, as a conscious and specific result of the negotiations, and has been treated as such since that time.
This action is a fundamental departure from agreed counting rules and would cause the accounting of Russia's holdings of Treaty-limited equipment to be inaccurate.

Considering the size of the barrel and the number of rounds fired, it was decided that an energy cannon made more sense than a projectile cannon, since otherwise, the AIFV would be totally occupied by ammunition and would be incapable of fulfilling the AIFV function.
The forward location of the cannon on the AIFV suggests that the rear of the vehicle is needed for another function, such as carrying troops.
Due to the similarities in the shape of the frames, it was assumed that the ACC was a design variant of the AIFV.

Some hatches and the gun shielding on the top of the vehicles are different between VCC-1 and VCC-2.
This problem was confirmed in the Somali experience and must be also remembered that all the improved APC developed in the world from the M113 (such as the FMC AIFV or the South Korean KIFV) have spaced steel laminated armour bolted on the aluminium armour hull.
The arrangements adopted for the firing ports (with a bullet-proof vision block above) in either sides of the rear troop compartment, also if acceptable and not worse in comparison with many other foreign vehicles, could be better designed.

 IMO Discussion Board - AIFVs as Cavalry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
I was having an interesting chat with someone today about the importance of armed recce, armour protection and cross country mobility.
Apart from the standard yawn inducing lament about the state of Irish defence we also managed to discuss some new idea's, one was the use of low cost tracked AIFVs operating with a Scorpion type light tank in cavalry tasks such as recce and flank security.
The pairing of 30 of this type of vehicle with an enhanced Scorpion fleet would not constitute an armoured force by any means but may be well suited to Cavalry and infantry support roles.

 Armor  RE:Best AIFV/IFV -- CV90-30 StrategyPage.com
The CV90 is a more modern design than either the Warrior, Bradley, or the BMP-3; regardless it is the best.
The CV90 is purpose designed to mount a variety of turrets, but the CV90-30 (with 30mm cannon) is probably the best cannon calibre for an AIFV turret due to the costs and benefits of the 30mm round over the 20/25/35/40mm rounds.
The CV90 chassis with a turret has actual room for 8 soldiers and 3 crew and thus does not reduce rifle section numbers.
