[QUOTE="Sea Skimmer, post: 59714, member: 1836"] [quote="JohnR"] I can't see any reason why a chassis could not be developed using the components of the FV432 to carry the system much in the same way as the M113 was evolved into the M548 and the MLRS chassis being used for other equipment. [/quote] MLRS uses a stretched version of the Bradley hull with an extra road wheel. It does have a similar cab as it was hoped the hull would replace M548 in a wide range of roles. The US Army had hard plans for additional versions besides MLRS, but the M4 command post and XM5 jammer were killed after only low rate production. The others with SAM and alternative SSM launchers never got past paper. End of the cold war made putting systems on tracked, armored platforms unattractive. Now everything has to go on a hummve or else it is 'too heavy, not transformational!' [/QUOTE]
