The JTLV is definitely a step in the right direction but in war with China, equipment like this buggy is a much better option https://www.army-technology.com/news/rafael-air-deployable-missile-launcher/ The Spike NLOS can strike targets 16 miles away and has various warhead options for different target types CH-53 and MV-22 can transport buggies like this internally which allows ground forces to rapidly deploy, strike and get outta dodge before the enemy can counter attack. In the pacific, forces need high mobility, The JTLV 10K weight is not exactly idea for high mobility operations as it has to be carried externally by helo or by by LCAC which is time consuming. In a European conflict, the JTLV and its options is perfect. Buggys like this can pave the way for JLTV and HIMARS. The only thing that USMC needs to be change is this ttps://www.defensenews.com/naval/2020/02/12/heres-the-us-marine-corps-plan-for-sinking-chinese-ships-with-drone-missile-launchers/ Use the HIMARS ,not the JTLV .

@Buck123four Here's the reason why https://www.leonardodrs.com/sitrep/q1-2017-ausa-global-force-symposium-expo-special-edition/reconfigurable-integrated-weapons-platform-riwp/ Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) can mount just any thing on the top of JTLV which mean endless options for the USMC http://www.military-today.com/artillery/hawkeye.htm Now if they could make this a little more compact, the USMC would jump on it CH-53K can carry Humvees internally but Hawkeye gun sits too high when its stowed if they can get it a little lower https://www.navair.navy.mil/node/24326

@utoobuser206 The JTLV size can be configured with various type of weapon in dual or tri configurations Example a JTLV with optics, 30mm cannon and quad Javelin launcher too heavy for Humvee but light weight for JTLVs While the CH-53K and CH-47 can internally carry Humvee Smaller specially made like this Quad buggy https://www.army-technology.com/news/rafael-air-deployable-missile-launcher/ takes up less space and allows for more to be carried There is just no niche left for the humvee
