While looking for HIMARS prototype pictures such as this one I was puzzled to find this : Was it a competitor? By the way, was LM MFC the only company initially contracted to develop a prototype?

I found these pictures in the Vought Aircraft Historical Foundation archives and had to go online to research PATA to find out what the heck it was. PATA Plenum Air Tread Amphibian It basically has a plenum that provides air to tracks that are a series of low pressure air cells and an airflow...
