    You can buy similar commercial chassis for about one fifth of that. Control systems depending on whether they are intended for autonomous operation or remote control would be maybe 5-20k on top of that. I have no idea what the mounted weaponry in worth.

    The real question is whether they are paying inflated military prices as is typical with US equipment, or building them in house at cost.
