Good eye!  :smiley: I knew that turret/barrel looked familiar.
Looking at it now, it seems the Mauler is heavily inspired by the HSVT-L. That also means the turret isn't actually unmanned. Just looks that way on the Mauler.

For low profile turrets, consider the US experimental T92 light tank.  I think that basic concept, combined with the STV103's suspension for elevating the gun, could work well.

Yup, using the same AAI turret and ARES gun as on the wheeled LAV-75 mentioned by Graeme.
