Wasn’t United Defense the outfit that came up with the M-8 AGS and the spinoff 120mm Thunderbolt?
Apparently UD didn’t payoff the right General (Shinseki) or the right President (Clinton).
What a shame, those were really sweet vehicles. I had my name on crosstraining to the M-8 because my enhanced NG Brigade was supposed to be getting them.
United Defense also dveloped and built the Bradley and the M-113. The M-777 towed 155mm gun that the Marine Corps uses now was built by BAE Systems. I tried to get on that program when NLOS was cancelled but I ended up on the JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle)program instead.
