I pulled this off Jane‘s

Dutch MOBAT system offered to Canada for fast deployment in indirect fire
The Mobile Artillery (MOBAT) system, developed by RDM Technology in the Netherlands, may be suitable for armies, such as Canada‘s, which are looking for a cost-effective, technological stepping stone to the future. MOBAT is a 105mm truck-mounted howitzer, combining existing technology with new technology and new operational concepts. The 105mm, 33-caliber gun is mounted on a platform that integrates the gun; the electric gun drives; the working platform of the crew; the ammunition racks; the stabilization system; and the BAE Systems Avionics Group LINAPS (Laser Inertial Artillery Pointing System). The platform can be mounted on almost any type of 4x4, 4t or 5t truck.

Considering that RDM seems to handle most of Canada‘s artillery engineering, this would seem to be somewhat doable.

Here‘s a pic of the MOBAT.

The Dutch are converting the M109 Regt to PzH 2000 and they are getting rid of the MLRS units that they have. Will the NL be fielding this platform in the near future, or have they already?

****, it‘s a C3, why go to them when we can do it ourselves on a HL, god forbid if they tried to use a LS?
Shiver at the thought of putting up a cam net!
