DIVAD was cancelled because Jesus Christ what a horrible joke of a weapons system.
APG-68 F16 radar that can't see past the tips of the 40mm guns if they're elevated too high.
Also said radar will go into reset mode if cannons are fired in long bursts due to vibration of the hull.
Said cannons ROF is too low to engage jets, too low to engage helos flying at oblique angles.
The hull is built on an M48 turret - plenty of spare parts, not nearly enough speed to keep up with Bradley and Abrams.
There are systems introduced that out of the box have "Teething issues". The M988 wasn't one of them: it was just plain broken from the get-go.
