The Piranha IV is the fourth member of the Piranha family of armoured vehicles and is being developed as a private venture by the Swiss MOWAG corporation (since 2003 part of General Dynamics European Land Combat Systems).

Komatsu, Japan has acquired a production licence in view of a possible interest by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force while BAE Systems Land Systems Weapons & Vehicles has also acquired a production licence. [1]
