It has two variants: the M1161 and M1163. The development of the Growler first began in 1999 when the USMC wanted a vehicle that can be transported inside a [[V-22 Osprey]], initially the design was inspired from the [[M151]] MUTT and uses much of the same components, however the USMC was heavily displeased because of the dated parts.
