https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/02/25/proposed-light-tank-battalion-concept-will-require-more-armor-crewmen/ Current plans call for the MPF battalion to reside at the division level. It will then farm out companies to each brigade, said Christopher Stone, deputy director of the Army’s capability manager for the infantry brigade combat team. Stone spoke at the 2022 Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Benning, Georgia on Feb. 16. "The MPF company looks and smells like a tank company,” Stone said. As someone pointed out to me on discord this sounds a lot like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separate_tank_battalion Though it does not resolve the issue of needing M88 as recovery vehicles now that GDLS is the sole bidder.

GDLS isn't going to win because their lobbyists are better, they didn't have to "redo" the Stryker and the issues with the Ajax (made by GDUK) are irrelevant.

Babrams it is then.

I'm not sure why you are misrepresenting/downplaying what was said in it. Here is a snippet. The ISV is not operationally effective for employment in combat and ESD missions against a near-peer threat, as identified in the Validated Online Lifecycle Threat report. The vehicle lacks the capability to deliver effective fires, provide reliable communication, and force protection. The rifle company equipped with the ISVs did not successfully avoid enemy detection, ambushes, and engagements during a majority of their missions. In order to traverse cross country routes and wooded terrain, the unit was forced to reduce their speed, resulting in slowed movement, or maneuvered on improved routes, negating any element of surprise. During missions, the unit experienced numerous casualties, delaying mission accomplishment and degrading its combat power for follow-on missions. The unit concealed their ISVs and drivers close to the objective and dismounted eight soldiers per vehicle to accomplish missions before recovering their ISVs. This action reduced their combat force, exposed the ISVs and drivers to opposing force attacks, and increased the risk of additional combat losses. During missions, personal weapons were not easily accessible on the move, degrading the ability of the squad to quickly react to enemy actions and ambushes. While the ISV can mount a swing arm for an M240 machine gun, the ability for the soldier to efficiently employ the weapon on the move was a challenge because the soldier’s field of fire was hindered by trees, foliage, and other obstructions when extending the swing mount. Protracting the swing mount also interfered with seated soldier egress from vehicle. Communication between soldiers, squad leaders, and platoon leader were intermittent and not reliable on the move, degrading their ability to gain and maintain situational awareness at extended range mission between 62 to 300 miles. The ISV does not have a requirement for a mounted communication capability, so each platoon depended on their manpack and leader radios. The ISV lacks the capability to carry the required mission equipment, supplies, and water for a unit to sustain itself within a 72-hour period. Units operating for longer durations will need to conduct mission planning, cross level-equipment across the unit, or may require additional ISVs to sustain operations.

The FY2021 DOT&E annual report is out, the one for the ISV is reaaallllly not flattering.

The Oshkosh press release says that the eJLTV is derived from their Light Combat Tactical Vehicle which uses their ProPulse system. https://oshkoshdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ProPulse_SS_6-13-11.pdf •Diesel engine powers a large electric generator which distributes power to each axle module •Each axle module is driven independently by a dedicated motor controlled from its own power converter, thus providing redundancy

This appears to be a change Oshkosh is making for the contract recompete. "“While the U.S. Army has not requested a hybrid-electric JLTV as part of the JLTV recompete, the eJLTV proves that Oshkosh Defense has the team and technical capabilities to produce this highly capable vehicle today,” Bryant concluded."

MaRV are hypersonic weapons by the current buzzword use.

https://insidedefense.com/insider/army-asks-about-industry-capabilities-truck-mounted-howitzer "The Army released a pair of requests for information Jan. 7 to assess industry capabilities to prototype a possible wheeled 155 mm self-propelled howitzer. One of the requests for information focused on the system’s armament, which could replace the M777 towed 155 mm howitzer in some units. The other was for the truck, with which the cannon would be integrated. These market surveys follow October announcements that the Army plans to award other transaction agreements for companies to prototype the armament and truck for the Next Generation Howitzers. Each request for information asks nine questions, most of which are shared between the requests. Companies must describe their capability to design, model, manufacture, qualify and field truck-based 155 mm artillery, as well their ability to work with the United States government and integrate new technologies into the system. The armament request for information asks about the companies' ability to integrate “different cannon assemblies” onto 155 mm armament, and the truck request about the companies' experience with U.S. mobility requirements. Neither request for information restricts its questions about manufacturing capability to the United States. Responses to both requests for information are due Feb. 4. Defense contractors have expressed interest in the truck-mounted howitzer program, which matches capabilities that several other countries already possess. Four contractors from Europe and the Middle East displayed their own 155 mm truck-mounted howitzers at the Association of the United States Army’s annual conference last October. Two U.S. contractors at the same event expressed their own interest in the program."

This is what I was thinking of, SLRC is specifically referenced.

My understanding is that it uses a throttleable solid rocket motor.
