| abstract
| - BvS20AS is an air-transportable, medium-weight, turreted self-propelled howitzer based on the proven technology of the Haubits FH77 howitzer in service with the Royal Union Army . The system is fully autonomous and provides the highest performance, but with reduced cost, crew levels and weight. The intention was to integrate the gun module into available in-service chassis and after a number of proposal BOFORS decided to use the BvS10 chasis in order to satisfy the Royal Union Army requeriments. The development programme was started in early 2003 and a fully functioning demonstrator started in the second quarter of 2005. The demonstrator included a fully automatic loading system which loads the projectiles and the charges. In 2007 the Royal Union Army ordered the first 150 units of a total 600 units until 2011.
