The Ahvaz Psilos IMV was a lightly armoured infantry mobility vehicle developed by the Ahvaz Automotive Engineering Company (AAEC) for an urgent operational requirement issued by the Trans-Euran Command of the Raspur Pact in 1717 AN. The design was unveiled at the Punta Santiago Motor Show on 24.IX.1718 AN. Intended to replace materiel losses incurred during Operation Jungle Bolo and the subsequent Norasht campaign, the Ahvaz Psilos IMV was prioritised for delivery to the Surenid Armed Forces and the Constancian Home Guard, with further production tranches being assigned to the Federal Guards Service and Federal Gendarmerie of Nouvelle Alexandrie as well as the Garrisoned Police Force of Zeed. The initial full production contract, inked with Trans-Eura Command on 24.IX.1718 AN at Punta Santiago, obligated AAEC to undertake the full manufacture and assembly of 100,000 examples of the type, to be allocated at the discretion of Trans-Eura Command as outlined, with the production run to be completed by no later than 24.XIV.1730 AN. The Psilos programme would have to be run concurrently with AAEC's contracted obligation to manufacture the 18,800 Rz.Kfz 1714 Razkampfwagens subcontracted to it by the Luix-Satyria Scientific-Production Association LLC and due for completion by 1724 AN.
