Teh BvS10 (Το Bandvagn Skyddad 10, επίσης γνωστό ως Bandvagn 410 ή BV410) είναι ένα ερπυστριοφόρο αρθρωτό αμφίβιο τεθωρακισμένο όχημα παντός εδάφους που παράγεται από την BAE Systems Land Systems Hägglunds της Σουηδίας. Αυτό το όχημα, που αναφέρεται ως All Terrain Vehicle (προστατευμένο) - ATV (P) ή Viking από τις δυνάμεις του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου, αναπτύχθηκε αρχικά ως συνεργασία μεταξύ της βιομηχανίας - Hägglunds Vehicle AB - και του Βρετανικού Υπουργείου Άμυνας (MoD) για λογαριασμό των Βασιλικών Πεζοναυτών.

- Maximum Road Speed: 70 km/h (43 mph).
- Amphibious Speed: Up to 5 km/h (3 mph) in water.
- Key Mobility Feature: The articulated steering and all-track power allow it to traverse deep ditches, climb steep slopes (45 degrees), and operate fully loaded across terrain impassable to conventional vehicles due to its low ground pressure.
Protection and Variants
- Protection (Armoured BvS10): Basic hull protection against small-arms fire and artillery fragments (STANAG 4569 Level 2), with optional add-on armor up to Level 4.
- Protection (Beowulf): The Beowulf is the unarmored version, prioritizing payload and lower weight.
- Armament: Typically fitted with a light machine gun (LMG) or heavy machine gun (HMG) on a ring mount or remote weapon station, with calibers ranging from 5.56 mm to 12.7 mm, or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.
- Payload Capacity: The unarmored Beowulf can carry up to 8 tonnes.
- International Use: Used by the armed forces of the UK (as Viking), Sweden, France, the Netherlands, and Austria.
