This looks interesting:

 
Further testing on the AMPV-Nemo/Modular Turreted Mortar System prototype

Testing on the weapon system began in January and is projected to wrap up by July. Furthermore, a demonstration test will be carried out at YPG to pinpoint any potential issues or to fine-tune procedures before the AMPV-mounted weapon is sent to Fort Moore

...

According to Capt. Mike Hapner from the Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems, the AMPV was chosen because it maintains an objective requirement to replace the Mortar Carrier Variant with an automated MTMS.

“The U.S. Army is interested in the MTMS’ capability to shoot on the move, perform direct fire missions, as well as its capability to conduct Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact missions,” Hapner stated.

I guess this is the end of using unmodified Hellfire missiles on the M-SHORADS. I remember L-M running trials on the system with their CUDA missile, program that’s been quiet for a while. The post in question, which incidentally confirmed that CUDA had a 5 inch diameter. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/lockheed-martin-cuda-air-to-air-missile.17332/post-341001

IMHO the APS alternatives needs to include a wider flora of contractors than currently being proposed and installed. Longer range capabilities which are missile based like Quickill also be included.
