This features a remote controlled turret. There are many proponents of such a turret in the US Army - for the next tank, in particular.

It offers a promise of crew safety, which is hard to resist.

But IMHO, no amount of sensors, cameras, and vision blocks can replace the ability to peek out of the hatch and gain an understanding of the situation around you. And the crew must rely heavily on gps for navigation.

I’m curious to see how crews like this vehicle and perform in this vehicle...hopefully the US Army will pay close attention.

Looks far better than the LAV III. The big difference is track vs wheels. Track will always go more places.
