ATO is a specialist qualification, not an occupation, which contributes in part to the problem space.

We did. Back in the halcyon days of the early 1970s we were blowing tens of thousands of about to expire 105mm war stocks down range. Did a 400 rd WP fire mission with my three-gun troop of L5s once.
Good times.

TBH most of the ammo issues I saw was when we were expending all the old stuff in Cyprus. The CAF didn’t want to ship most of the old stuff home, or to FYR, as a lot of it was way past the point of being usable.
We did a lot of crap on the grenade range that would have been forbidden in Canada…

Is this a ready force or a reserve force job?
www.army-technology.com
From wiki the basic design parameters
Fits inside an Ohio SSBM missile tube
Operational range of over 2775 km.
So...
The Multi Domain Task Force
LRPF Battalion
Playing Defence in Churchill, MB
Deliver precision payloads at hypersonic speeds anywhere in Canada
Same systems moved by C17 to Alert. Offence. Or defending friends.
I see a defensive system.
Speed Mach 17 or 21,000 km/h
Strike time to 2775 km of approx 8 minutes.
How many AIM-120s could be packed in one missile as a GBAD solution?
How many NSMs as an SSM solution?
US Army deploys first hypersonic weapon capability
The US Army has successfully deployed its first long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW) system to practise a full range of expeditionary hypersonic launch capabilities.

That seems overly dumb. I had to check date to make sure it wasn't posted April 1.
No protection, no room for both crew and ammo, and I don't think the suspension will last long.

Navy seeks $3.6 billion over 5 years for 64 hypersonic Conventional Prompt Strike rounds - Breaking Defense
A senior Navy officer recently said the budget is an "endorsement of the capability."

Himars started off delivering bundles of grenades 20 km or so.
I'm seeing a bus capable of moving stuff at a high rate of knots. A little bit of imagination and effort.

Uhm not really. The M270 MLRS predated HIMARS and early model rocket range was double that.Navy seeks $3.6 billion over 5 years for 64 hypersonic Conventional Prompt Strike rounds - Breaking Defense

The nature of the HSGV means it will be a significant engineering feat to launch some types of submunitions.

One of my favorite never was weapon systems was a proposal put forward by Lockheed Martin in the early 80's AXE .
AXE was the the first stage of the Trident D5 with a warhead composed of several thousand CBUs. It was designed to basically erase airfield runways.

A bus doesn’t do Mach 5+.
Delivery a weapon (or weapons) on target at that speed is much different than delivery weapons to a point at that speed then having them locally acquire targets.
The HSGV will make constant course changes to reduce the likelihood of shoot down. While that’s trackable internally for submunitions to redirect to a ground target (which enough maneuver room), it’s not exactly easy for an AA system to try to redirect at that speed. Considering most don’t go that fast …
It’s like trying to walk out the door of a car doing 150mph. How’s that going to work for you.

A veritable smorgasbord of artillery porn - going at it in Denmark.
I think I've been on those ranges before.... lotsa fun jumping on and off tanks etc....

In fairness, we are supposed to be reconstituting, so attending exercises like that would be on the chopping block.And once again, a noticeable absence of Canadians.
