United States Military Vehicle General: Guns, G*vins, and Gas Turbines

I don't think one can judge the armor thickness just from one model. The artists from twitter is assuming that the underlying turret citadel is identical to that showed on the original Griffin prototype (which was based on a ASCOD 1 prototype hull), yet the new MPF vehicle design from GDLS uses a very different hull - the same might apply to the turret.

Literally the first paragraph of the linked article:

 

General Dynamics Land Systems today announced it has submitted its proposal for the Army's Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle competition, almost a year after it debuted its offering in Washington.”

It's likely related to the Griffin, but some news outlets are indicating that it's something they've not shown publicly yet- probably a "Griffin IV".
