I see the GM is rolling out the latest Multi-Billion "Weapon System" for the Army, the " Stryker Mobile Gun System vehicles." Looks like a wheeled Tank and Personnel carrier combo, so that we can have lighter vehicles to airlift. But look at this line in the official rollout release. Sounds like the same old Army runaround to me. Here is a URL to some pictures of it.http://www.gm-defense.com/products.asp?ProductID=16 >>>>The wheeled combat vehicle was initially reported to have problems of meeting its contract weight of no more than 38,000 pounds so that it can be airlifted via C-130 aircraft, and at the same time have enough armor to stop small arms fire. An aggressive weight management team resolved the issue weeks prior to the rollout ceremony by decreasing the Stryker's transport load list and changing its armor formula, an Army official said. amc.army.mil
