Not sure about transmissions on hovers with a fusion engine. Might be an issue. If not, this seems to work more for infantry hauler that has other uses.

One option might be lrms in place of the srms, but that kinda kills anti infantry defense. Plus I am thinking this would just pop up, fire and run.
Would say ecm if this was the intended use, but doesn't look like it.
