I recently read in RAIDS magazine that the US FCS program manned vehicle(s) will be tracked. Not sure why they picked tracked over wheeled, maybe someone has more info? Also, there are rumors that since the C-130 requirement has been dropped, the top weight may approach 30-tons. This also brings up another point, if they are going for the tracked version with a weight of 30tons, the US should consider the German PUMA and save lots of $$$. It is an advanced modular design that I'm sure can be fitted for all the variants that are being proposed for the manned vehicles.
