The Infanterie-Kampffahrzeug 80 (I-kpfz. 80; Eng. Infantry Fighting Vehicle 80, IFV-80) is a family of Berusian tracked combat vehicles designed by NirvashTec, Ac. Enterprises, Rheinmetall and Bofors during the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
The Berusian version of the main infantry fighting vehicle is fitted with a turret from AEMVD that is equipped with a 10,5cm Gun, although export versions use 23mm, 27mm, 30 mm, 35 mm and 40mm autocannons.
Developed specifically for the West European climate, it has very good mobility in snow and wetlands while carrying and supporting Ten (later versions were reduced to Eight) fully equipped soldiers.
Other variants include Forward Observation, Command and Control, Anti-air, Armoured Recovery, Electronic Warfare and so forth. It is still produced and being developed by NirvashTec.
