Marine Personnel Carrier. GD did the unthinkable with a tracked Stryker would they???


I shot off an e-mail to the Vice President of Communications over at General Dynamics today asking about their version of the Marine Personnel Carrier.

Don't kick me.  I followed instructions and that's where I was directed.

And this is the kicker.  I keep vacillating on what I think they're up to.  Yesterday I said it had to be the Pandur II.  If not that vehicle then maybe an Amphibious Stryker.

Tonight?

I'm back to the amphibious Stryker as being my favorite.  I initially said that it would be too hard for them to make it amphibious.

But a short conversation later and it dawned on me.  THEY PUT FREAKING TRACKS ON A STRYKER!

Making one swim shouldn't be that hard a push, especially if you're going to go to the trouble of developing a tracked version.  Expect some major exterior changes...developing a proper bow, putting on a swim vane and maybe widening it a bit.

Hopefully I'll get a response and if I do you can bet it'll be posted rickety quick.
