Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

WRT 4 vs 5 axles, 5 axles = 10 wheels = more surface area = less ground pressure. IMO.

If the US Army proceeds with the Rheinmetall Lynx perhaps we could expect to see this APC

In which case the RCH might find a home on that machine instead.

I don’t think there is any chance for RH winning MICV.
One might be tempted to say the only reason the Bradley replacement was announced instead of opting for the A5 Bradley is that the Bradley is now made by BAE instead of FMC that was a US company, but FMC divested their Military vehicle wing to BAE.

BAE got APMV, so I’m pretty sure with the M-10 Booker divestment the XM-30 MICV is going to go to GDLS, as the factory that made it can make the MICV as the chassis are alike.

Originally, RCH155 came out with a version on the MRL chassis which also looked like that but which, IMHO, seems more stable than Boxer,

I think, M548 would be too light for RCH 155, regardless as to how ugly it might be.

I’m somewhat chassis agnostic. Assuming the ten wheel Piranah can handle it then I’m okay with it supporting a LAV brigade, but for a tracked IFV brigade, I want some form of tracks.

And then there is K9 and Redback. ;)
