The JLTV is a replacement for the iconic Humvee vehicle in service with the US military, which will see a whole lot of variants. On May 10, we found out that one of these variants will be a four-door version armed with the M242 Bushmaster remotely controlled cannon.

According to an announcement by Oshkosh Defense, European customers in particular may be interested in this type of JLTV. In practice, it is not such a wide modernization of the JLTV, because this vehicle based on a modular structure was designed with this type of versatility in mind, in line with the armament. As a result, the addition of the CPWS 2.0 remotely controlled weapon module with the 25mm M242 Bushmaster autocannon is not surprising at all.

Ultimately, however, the vehicle is impressive, both in terms of photos and possibilities. With this type of weaponry, JLTV operators could fire at enemy troops in a safe cabin, barraging enemies up to 2,000 meters away with a hail of a total of 305 25mm x 137 rounds.
