The Army (or at least TACOM) is about 20 years ahead of you in that thought. Or more; we started hearing about possible Bradley-based under-armor 120mm mortar carriers back in 1987 "that would be reality in about 5 years." Unfortunately, the guys in the Pentagon and the Congress holding the pursestrings had different ideas.
