 == History ==
-The Lvakan m/48 is the successor to the Swedish [[Lvakan m/36 (40 mm)|Lvakan m/36]] better known internationally by the name the [[Bofors L/60 (40 mm)|Bofors L/60]]. While a successful auto-cannon during World War II, the dawning jet age after the war led to the realization that the L/60 was no longer a capable gun for the anti-aircraft role. As a result, Bofors went back to the drawing board and a made a new gun based on the Bofors L/60. Alongside a heavier which led to the designation the Bofors L/70, the new gun ejects has a separate ejector port instead of directly injecting spent casings from the feeding port, a double cooling vents on the barrel jacket, fires a larger 40x365mmR round and has double the rate of fire of the L/60. It was accepted for service in 1947 and adopted as the Lvakan m/48. While not as successful as the original Bofors gun, the gun remains in production and was the standard 40mm Anti-Aircraft for NATO after it was standardized in 1953. While improvements over the years led to the development of the newer [[Akan m/70B (40 mm)|Akan m/70B]] used on the Swedish [[CV90 (Family)|CV90 series]] of Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and the South Korean K21 IFVs, the original gun was mounted on vehicles as well. The Lvakan m/48 was mounted on at least two Swedish SPAA prototypes namely the [[Lvkv 42]] and the [[VEAK 40]] which is based on the [[Strv 103 (Family)|S-Tank]].
