The M1128 Mobile Gun System (MGS) is an eight-wheeled armoured car of the Stryker armoured fighting vehicle family, mounting a 105 mm tank gun, based on the Canadian LAV III light-armoured vehicle manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems for the U.S. Army.
The MGS program emerged after the 1996 cancelation of the Army‘s M8 Armoured Gun System, the service‘s planned replacement for the M551 Sheridan light tank.
The MGS was procured in limited numbers. It will be retired by the end of 2022 due to design and operational deficiencies.
