A reboot
could be cool.
I never played M2000, but I've run a modern (c. 2020) mercs campaign using T2k v2.2 rules. They worked just fine as-is. Paul M's site has every modern weapon one could possibly encounter in game statted up already.
Really, there are so many low intensity conflict hot spots and/or failed states in the world right now, there's a ton of setting info out there for anyone who cares to do a little internet research. These conflicts are changing so quickly that, by the time a sourcebook was released, the info would be fast approaching obsolescence.
Legally speaking, I don't think a game designer could detail real-life PMCs like the ones you listed (without express written permission). I'm not a lawyer, but I reckon doing so could expose creators to trademark infringement, defamation, and/or libel lawsuits.
