Minutes from two meetings at Bofors (on 1954-09-22 and 1954-12-08) discussing the status of various projects. More specifically:

  • Project 6400 (heavy tank, aka. KRV)
  • FH 105 X (105 mm towed field howitzer)
  • Obusier de 155 mm Modèle 50 (popularly called “Haubits F” or “Fransyskan”; a towed French howitzer license produced by Bofors)
  • FAK 120 X 53 (a towed 120 mm automatic AA gun; considered by the meeting attendants to be of doubtful value)
  • Lvkv fm/49 (a SPAAG)
  • “Light brigade AAA”; unspecified 20 or 30 mm towed AA gun
  • 75 mm L/60 gun for strv 74
  • “Gjallarhorn”, speculative man-portable light anti-tank weapon
