Lockheed Martin Havoc. Did they uparmor the thing?


I was re-watching some of the vids put out by the vehicle manufacturers competing for the MPC/ACV/ACV 1.1 (or whatever HQMC is calling the thing these days) and I noticed that extra armor has been applied to the Havoc.

In the swim portion of the vid I caught onto the changes in the swim vane and I guess I was so focused on that portion of the vid that I missed the obvious.

Interesting.

Sidenote.  Real nice how they put an AAV turret on this beast.  The Yat-Yas boys must be happy as hell.  They get easier cross training and almost a plug and play option for crew members if its adopted.  Very nicely done LM MFC.
