Interesting thread. Still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept. First thought this vehicle was similar in concept to the WASP: an autonomous special weapons carrier, but now suspect it was basically a tracked engineless weapons trailer, towed by another tracked armoured vehicle.

The other part I am having trouble with is the rocket launcher. It looks like it is a fixed position launcher with no, or limited, elevation. Also, the related appearance that the rockets themselves were loaded with either propellant or explosives just prior to use. Seems this would raise serious questions about the consistency of the loads under combat conditions. I would think it would be all too easy to either overload or under load either fuel or explosive. Variations in fuel load would seriously affect range/accuracy. A similar situation loading explosives would affect the effectiveness of the weapon if it hit it's target.

Probably more terrifying to the user than the recipients.
