    It hasn't been specified and IIRC neither is it for the HEMTT Archer variant from AUSA 2022: The mockup doesn't show any add-on armor kit either, but it's not really indicative of the actual product as it would be built if given the green light: That said, there are up-armored variants of HEMTT that were deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, so maybe - just maybe...

    BAE Systems Bofors is already ahead of you with their Archer doodle from AUSA: That said, it's much easier to do shoot-and-scoot with a HIMARS than with a PLS or a LVSR.

    Apparently it is a prospective launch system for the USMC: Mobile Launcher That Can Fire Four Times More Weapons Than HIMARS Emerges

    That rig looks a bit flimsy for an actual launch system that aims to offer four times the firepower of a HIMARS, but it does point to a USMC initiative--maybe related to the ROGUE-Fires project? They're already using LVSRs to transport Tomahawk reload containers (which are launched by unmanned JLTVs, by the way).

    That's not a M977/M1120 HEMTT (which is a 8×8) or a M1074/M1075 PLS (a 10×10 also built by Oshkosh, but with a hydraulic load handling system at its back, to pick up intermodal containers). This is actually a 10×10 Oshkosh MKR16 LVSR tractor truck, which is rather exclusive to the USMC. The MKR18 has a differently-shaped front fender plate, IIRC.

    Speaking of GDLS AJAX: @Ramlaen: the problem is that the Booker is front-engined, which increases the height of its frontal aspect. That volume, for some reason (maybe to not degrade the gun depression?), does not decrease as the viewer moves rearwards. Merkava has kind of the same problem, though there are other factors to consider, like that rear compartment that can, in cases of emergency, be used to carry a couple of troops or MEDEVAC wounded personnel. The Abrams does the reverse: it keeps the front part of its hull slim then imparts it volume once you move past the turret ring, all in order to accommodate the AGT1500 powerpack (which, incidentally, does cause gun depression issues when aiming backwards, since the engine deck is so high). The Booker's 8-cylinder MTU 8V199 TE23 isn't exactly a smol boi, either:

    @Ramlaen Yeah, AUSA's a bit of a quiet affair this year. Almost passed by unnoticed, at least for me. But the highlights of this year's expo seem to be a pair of AMPVs with MTMS mortar and MCT30 turrets, yet another Ripsaw variant that can launch kamikaze quadrotor drones, Archer, Rogue FIRES unmanned antiship missile launcher and the Oshkosh Stryker with MCWS turret.

    Apologies for double posting, but I apparently can't add new Twitter embeds at the end of my previous post (can't click the end of it).
