Hi everyone, can anyone recall a specific variant of MLRS/HIMARS by my description? I only remember a picture of it, and I failed to find it again.

So, I only recall that I've seen a picture of an aforementioned HIMARS variant, and so that's how it looked like: a 4x4 FMTV(?) truck with unarmored cab deploying a single non-standard 4-round(2 by 2) MLRS pod stuffed into a compact launcher of a square cross-section, and I'm not even certain if the "pod" and a "launcher" were separate for this machine. I also can remember that this lightweight variant has been proposed to either USMC or some other military branch that might've needed something even lighter than a HIMARS for some reason. And no, I'm quite sure that it wasn't a Rogue-Fires or any other system using a normal 6-round rocket pod. Also I'm sure it wasn't a BM-21V. Please mind that my memories of this picture may be distorted, and that there's still a possibility that I might've unconsciously made it up.

My first thought was the UK's LIMAWS(R) - A 9-ton Supacat with a single pod that could be slung under a CH-47.



There's also the French 16-ton AMX-APX ALLARM 6x6

Or maybe one the conceptual Lightweight MLRS? Comes in 8x8 or trailer flavors.

None of these however utilize the 4-round pod however, only the standard 6-round MLRS pod.

Greetings! Thanks for your help, then. Perhaps that notion about the existance of a 4-round pod might've been an error of mine.
