Thought the shape rang a bell, the Pirahanna is made by GKN Defence, who make the British Army's MCV-80 Warrior IFVs.

Man that is a beautiful vehicle. Wish i could buy one :). And it may look like all those vehicles you guys are talking about but with the tech on board of that thing it sets it way ahead of all of them. I saw a show on the history channel and they had the stryker on there, This thing can actualy deflat and inflat its own tires to make it easier to move in some terrain and the gunner does not sit up in the turret in the open, he sits inside an mans it remotely. And being that its not tracked it cant even be heard by the human ear until its about 200 meters away. Where as with tracked vehicles you can hear them from about 800-900 meters away.

Sorry i started blabbing but i get exited about cool tech lol.

This .pdf has a good description of it's capabilites starting on Page 18.  It has 8 different variants.  The one on page 22 clearly makes it seem like an ideal candidate for the MHQ   ;D
