But I wonder about its survivability in the modern, 3D, RPG rich combat environment? Just how vulnerable is it? Logically, it would certainly be a high-value target for insugent opposition. Also, how much firepower can be brought onto the target in a short space of time, and continued as necessary? I'm not familiar with the MGS enough to say, however I think there could be a more useful, survivable alternative with the capacity to cause less collateral damage than the MGSs 105mm HE round. The idea centres around using an existing, highly survivable tank hull such as for the Leopard 2 A6 for a new, highly mobile, highly survivable SPAAG (Self Propelled AA Gun). The result would essentially be an SPAAG with secondary urban assault capabilities. The tracking and aquisition radar for this system should be able to be retracted down into the mid hull when on urban combat operations, due to their vulnerability from hostile fire - they are sensitive pieces of equipment. The gunner's optical and night sights would remain deployed. The central feature of this SPAAG would be its turret, using the same classified armour as the Leopard 2 A6 for survivability, and mounting twin 20mm Vulcan (multi-barrel) cannon on either side of the turret. Being primarily an AA system, the elevation of the guns would be sufficient to allow for engagements from above (e.g. from the third storey of a building). I believe that in today's 3D combat environment such a vehicle would give the force a highly survivable, highly lethal gun system to supplement troops on city operations, armored columns and the like, with the ability to "transform" into a short range, mobile SPAAG should the need arise.
