Hättest du das Interview mit Ronald genauer gelesen würdest du nicht mehr rätseln.

Who came up with the name SWIV and at what point did you settle on the name? And what does it mean? (The internet varies between Silkworm IV, Silkworm In Vertical, Special Weapons Interdiction Vehicles). What did the actual team call it?

The actual team called it SWIV! We were going to develop a sequel to Silkworm. I proposed to call it Silkworm 4, instead of Silkworm 2, only because I thought it might be a little more unexpected. Create a little bit of intrigue. But soon it became clear that we could not legally use the name Silkworm. Internally, we had already nicknamed the project SWIV. I believe Dan Marchant started that trend. He also came up with several alternative origins of the name, such as you mentioned, and more. He made sure that magazines got conflicting explanations. A great move because it got people intrigued and talking - back then and apparently to this day.

But let me mention something that not many people have noticed: SWIV uses a software synthesizer. There were several samples, but many of the sound effects are synthesized in real time. Sound synthesis was (and is) a hobby of mine.
