Not very visually appealing like the JLTV (which should be coming out in kit form) but I suppose we’ll have to have one…

It should help with reducing the Army CARC paint budget

Just wait until the users start adding armour panels, a roof and other necessities.

I wonder if they’ve used this for the car show…

If a very good 1/35 plastic model kit company made this in plastic, I’d buy that kit! (Please add resin tires!).
This could be one of the first new modern US Army 1/35 plastic kit released in a long time with brand new molds. Live-Resin’s soldiers would also help if such a 1/35 plastic ISV kit doesn’t come with figures.

If I were a grunt, I’m sure I would apricate all the protection this will provide.

With the thread beginning in 2020, I’m kinda surprised nobody has kitted these in 1/35 styrene yet.

GM Defense/U.S. Army’s Tactical Electronic Warfare System Infantry (TEWS-I) on an Infantry Squad Vehicle.
"The Tactical Electronic Warfare System-Infantry (TEWS-I) is a mounted capability for infantry brigade combat team formations. Each TEWS-I system consists of an integrated suite of radio frequency antennas, receivers, and processors.
TEWS-I conducts Electromagnetic Warfare Support using the same or similar hardware and software, to include the machine learning signal recognition software and integration of signal detectors in the corresponding TEWS.
This quick reaction capability system utilizes GPS and tactical radio communications systems to help Soldiers out in the field!
To learn more about the TEWS and TEWS-I, visit PM EW&C - PEO IEW&S"
So that is about four versions of the Infantry Squad Vehicle: 9-person basic ISV, the LOCUST anti-drone ISV, the USSOCOM SOF ISV, and the TEWS-I Electronic Warfare ISV.

I don’t know…the TEWS-I, LOCUST, and SOF ISVs might be considered sensitive since the major kit makers are in China, so I doubt the US Army will invite anyone overseas from China for ISV measurements and photos. I’ve noticed that the US Army is very guarded on their equipment and vehicles since the GWOT. Even the M10 Booker’s full specifications hasn’t been released and the program was canceled.

All true, but Trumpeter et al seem to do a pretty good job of guessing based on photographs and video.

Three different companies have been to Ft. Benning, all to photograph the same vehicle in the collection there. I know when I was turned loose in the last November, I was allowed to go unsupervised. It’s an easy thing to take quick measurements here and there…
