The basic idea I've seen is something similar to
the Bradly turret fitted to a stryker. Though,
I'm surprised the Marder style remote turret
hasn't been proposed in a take down form. It'd
help maintain the current limitation of C130
airportability. And artificial limit that I think
hinders the development just as the British WWII
limit on Rail standards for their tanks.
