Seems like a similar situation with the Black Knight, although it uses a 300hp Caterpillar diesel engine rather than a Detroit Diesel. I bet that Black Knight's engine is also used in some other US military vehicles. Anyone have any guesses?
yeah, thats the lower hull of an M113, for sure, but who knows what they are doing with the drivetrain/final drives/etc. No idea what other vehicles use the Caterpillar engine, though.

Sure is an interesting concept, expensive I'm sure
