I see no reason why it couldn't and I continue to be amazed that none of the wheeled options produced across the board do not have a tactical "limber vehicle." That thing that Archer has isn't "tactical" its "administrative." I think folks have gotten so wrapped up in the "shoot and scoot" technique that everyone is trying to cheap out and sell the buyers on the notion that reloads happen administratively off unarmoured standard logistics vehicles. At some point that has to happen but I prefer a "logistics to limber; limber to gun" system where the gun and limber and unit ammo vehicles hold the specified basic load.
Moreover, the more that you go to dispersed operations the more important that tactical reloads by armoured limber vehicles become a necessity. On top of that I'm of the view that guns can do "shoot and scoot" for only so long. There will be times where they will need to move into dug in positions with collocated AD resources in order to supply the weight and continuity of fire required for specific operations. Again, a forward deployed, armoured limber vehicle, becomes a prerequisite.
IMHO, the US M992 and the S Korean K10 are good examples of what a limber vehicle ought to be.
As an aside - the wheeled K9 looks like a very big truck using stabilizers. I don't like big trucks. It doesn't strike me as advanced as RCH on Boxer (albeit I'm not yet convinced that RCH on Boxer can do everything its touted as able to do - the Brits seem to think otherwise) Personally, I think Canada's penchant for wheeled this and that is a big mistake. Tracks are not an option.
