Recognition notes
The Thumper Artillery Vehicle Maxwell is a 60-ton wheeled combat vehicle built as a missile boat, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed of 65. It keeps the Thumper facing front from the original, but replaces the ICE engine with a fuel cell plant and strips the four machine guns from the front and rear mounts for a single machine gun and an SRM 2 on the right side and the same pairing on the left side. The hull adds CASE and an Angel ECM suite, neither present on the original. Maxwell Planetary Defense Consortium builds the type at Maxwell.
