What's the planned use for it?
I mean, I like it but if it has only M113 style armor there will be only a narrow range of missions for it.
The high elevation gun for example would be perfect in urban engagements, but if it is not at least basic RPG-7 proof it is not worth it.

There could still be a use, albeit a narrow one. The hull seems to be lower profile than the standard M113, and as a tank destroyer or tracked assault gun it really seems no worse perhaps than the ASU-57, ASU-85, M56 Scorpion or M50 Ontos. Its also got four firing ports, and one suspects it was probably planned to be air-droppable.

As a self-propelled artillery vehicle it also seems like it would've been a cheap alternative to more advanced SP 155mm guns.

But yeah, definitely not a wide range of applications.
