The pamphlet link shows that it’s deployable by CH47 and UH60. Its fits in a C130, so they could sled it out the back like they currently do for a lot of the humvee mounted systems. This system weighs in at 2000lbs, The M118 light howitzer weighs about 4000lbs. Shoot and scoot for the airmobile and airborne troops. It probably could use an ammo trailer or a second humvee with an ammo trailer. And it gives you a cheap direct fire weapon for knocking on a bunker. I bet even the Rangers would like a few.

I’ll bet this really works out well. Good luck to the artillery units.
