Current mobile mortar systems require crews to open the hatches and be exposed. This could be a great option."

Unfortunately it's a blank box, for me, & trying the copy-paste of the URL gives me "Preview no found".

I really like this. Maybe a cheap Bradley kit for the lower hull and running gear and 3D printed or scratch built for the rest?

Not whole lot of pictures out there yet, but this article has a couple more views, along with another variant on the chassis. I gather the NEMO system is way more common on a wheeled chassis? I was vaguely familair with it from a Naval mount, but this is pretty new.

This particular mount, yes. But land-based NEMO, not so much.

Slovenia was the launch customer in mid-2006, with remote NEMO 120 on new Patria AMV 8x8 hulls.

I know it's B&W but look at the many shades of the aluminum and other metals.

Here is the text with the photo ...

▶️Boeing is in trouble and needs help.
▶️The C-17A is a superb transport aircraft.
▶️The USAF is going to need more as older airframes are retired.
▶️Is it time to put the C-17 back into production?
▶️If the USAF bought more, perhaps other NATO countries would order more too?
