In the American military context, the term "tank destroyer" was eliminated from the lexicon at the end of WWII.

It would probably be "[something] Gun System"

Since the 1970s we have had the Mobile Protected Gun, Mobile Protected Weapon System, Mobile Protected Gun System, Armored Gun System, and Mobile Gun System.


Edit: Considering that vehicle was developed for the AGS program. That term would probably fit best.
