Found this image while searching for Blitzer images:


If it ever becomes operational I think it should have the

It's shocking, isn't it, that someone put the lid on their pen, looked at the finished blueprints, and thought 'ive nailed this one'...

Prototype only for LIMAWS - LIghtweight Mobile Artillery Weapons System. Project cancelled. We were looking at rocket systems too.
But I believe we are interested once again in truck-mounted SP artillery.

The vehicle here is an 8x8 Supacat HMT 800, a Very Big Brother to Jackal and Coyote.

Think you'll find that the suspension squats when in the fire mode then raises for travel mode. Photo is of the squat/fire mode, look at the rear wheels, there is no room for deflection.
