Happy Birthday, GI Joe. Have an NLOS-C with your cake. [krakatoa]

If the ladies want war porn, the ladies get war porn.

The very first of many Future Combat System vehicles was unveiled June 11 on Capitol Hill for viewing by lawmakers, members of the press and taxpayers alike.
Prototype 1 of the Non-Line of Sight Cannon, one of the eight manned ground vehicles within Future Combat Systems, was displayed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol Building.

This cat was engineered to be safer, more mobile, more accurate, have more firepower and less moving parts, and less personnel to operate than the Paladin. Perhaps more importantly, it is designed with the future battlefield in mind, with networking capabilities allowing other friendly units to know what it knows.

Purrrrrr
