Rocket propelled UC?

[sapper740]

I have found two sequential photos of what appears to be a test of using rockets to lift? move? whatever? a Universal carrier. To what end, I can only imagine. As you can see from the pics, the test was a failure, I presume, resulting in the UC flipping over. Evident in the pictures are what appears to be 6 rockets, three per side with blast deflectors below each of the rockets. To what end these tests were done is beyond my ken. Has anyone see such a thing before?
