Or, maybe not. I just discovered that most of what I have is schematics that can't be posted here (for both copyright and security reasons). Suffice it to say, the UD proposal was a variant of the M8 armored gun platform. Less weight, half the cost, and better armor (can stop shells of up to 30mm with T3 armor affixed), and yet the Pentagon chose the Stryker because they wanted "wheels".
