Throw that straw man away, we have passed that with the UA concept already. 2 Batteris 8 Guns. It has been very interesting at teh NTC this last month.

Usable, and easily broken into three six-gun batteries if required, as in two-up/one back fire support bases. Now all they'll need is a rotary-wing lifter that can get them across blue lines where bridges or fords are lacking. I recall a ballpark figure of 19,555 pounds for a CH47, but upgraded models might beat that a bit, and an airmobile model Stryker might be worth consideration.
