K200 KIFV
The K200 KIFV (Korea Infantry Fighting Vehicle) is a South Korean infantry fighting vehicle, originally produced by Daewoo Heavy Industries (now part of Doosan Group), intended as a domestic replacement to older armored personnel carriers such as M113 that were in main line of service with the Republic of Korea Armed Forces at the time of K200's development. The K200 was supplemented by the K21 since 2009 in South Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Market for Light Tracked Vehicles (2010~2019) )〕 a total of 2,383 K200 vehicles of all configurations were produced between 1985 and 2006,〔 among which 111 K200A1 vehicles had been exported to Malaysia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doosan DST History )〕
==History==
The K200 project began in 1981 when the Republic of Korea Army issued a request for a new Korean Infantry Fighting Vehicle (KIFV) to meet future combat requirements. The ''Agency for Defense Development'' was in charge of its development, and Daewoo Heavy Industries (now part of Doosan Group) was the prime contractor for the production of this vehicle. The K200 was designed to be an amphibious personnel carrier that could cross shallow rivers, based on the chassis of the American Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The AIFV itself was based on the M113 armored personnel carrier. The vehicle was developed to be more affordable than the AIFV, but not necessarily sacrificing capability, to gain an edge in cost-effectiveness. The eventual domestic development and production of the K200 achieved a price range of $1.32 million to $1.41 million〔 as opposed to the $1.52 million to $2.83 million price range that a license-production or direct importation of the AIFV would have entailed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Market for Light Tracked Vehicles (2009~2018) )〕
Doosan incorporated the MAN D2848T engine into the K200 under a license-production deal and assimilated its technology using domestic components,〔 a reverse-engineering experience that would prove instrumental in the development of its next IFV, the K21. S&T Dynamics was the licensee subcontractor for the Allison Transmission X200-5K gearbox.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=S&T Dynamics Defence Industry Mobile Equipment X200-5K )〕 The vehicle entered production in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Korean Infantry Fighting Vehicle )〕 Serial production was completed in 2006.〔
