Prohibition on Hellfire Missile Use on M-SHORAD Increment 1

Reportedly, the Army is planning to replace the Longbow Hellfire missile launcher on M-SHORAD Increment 1 vehicles because the Hellfire mounted on the side of the vehicle “created wear and tear on the missile, leading to potential safety concerns.” The Army reportedly plans to retrofit M-SHORAD vehicles “by swapping out the Hellfire launcher and for a second Stinger pod,” which would give the modified vehicles eight total FIM-92 Stinger rounds.

Maybe if those get a box launcher to fly out of.

It's entirely possible, but as Scott said, it assumes JAGM doesn't have the same inherent issues as Hellfire, which it very well could.
I think the real big question that needs to be asked is how important is it for the Stout to be able to engage ground targets, and does it need more than a 30mm to do so.

The Moog turret is about as modular as it gets, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to integrate JAGM if that is the root they go. It's mentioned by name in the turret's brochure after all.
