Would the Marines put a turret on an amtrac?

An existing SuperAV vehicle family is the reason given for doubting a separate turreted-amtrac approach.

Question

Will the USMC adopt something like an amtrac with a turret on top?

Short answer

It is doubted; the expectation is that the Marines will use their existing SuperAV APC system.

Notes

The proposal is considered unlikely because the Marine Corps already has the SuperAV APC system. That vehicle is identified as the probable basis for further development. This is a prediction about the programme's direction, rather than a confirmed turreted design.
