Not unless we redesign it to use our current tech base it isn't.
As it stands we have yet to update the MAWLR's with IS tech. . .
This was something I considered, but it would require a complete redesign of the walker as well as implementation of the Beam Thrusters used in ISA Cruisers (or a similar technology). Just as well, I'm unsure if current Helghan technology is up to the task. I'm totally down for a discussion on it, tho.
They were referring to early stage AutoWar I think, using the capability boost of the research item Swarm Robotics to not need personnel leading fire teams of robotic units and instead have a few officers commanding a division from the rear.
So the decisionmaking side of things rather than having drones to begin with.

I don't know why they call that a tank when it doesn't actually act at all like a tank. I mean, it's an area denial system armed with AA and AT missiles accompanied by a number of drones.

It is big, can't fly, and angular with the ability to turn people into red mush so by the laws of science fiction it must be a tank.

@prometheus110 do we have Thermobaric weapons to deal with fortifications? Thermobaric weapon - Wikipedia
Maybe it acts more tank-like in it's undeployed state, similar to the Terran Siege Tank from StarCraft? That's really reaching out there, though.

MAWLR
The MAWLR (Mounted Artillery Walker/Long Range)[1] is a massive Helghast war machine used by the Helghan Empire during the Second Extrasolar War. It was developed in the laboratories of Scolar Visari.[2] Less a mech and more akin to a battleship on legs, the MAWLR is perhaps the largest Helghast...

International Aid
With the Republic having recently suffered a biological terror attack utilizing an engineered strain of the Rabies virus, nations and organizations across the Periphery and beyond have sent messages of support and promises of aid to the beleaguered nation. Ranging from the Republic's neighbours and fellow ORDI members to independent organizations such as ComStar, the breadth of medical knowledge and assistance being offered is stunning its generosity and scope. However, while this would normally be a no-brainer for the decision-makers involved, national pride being what it is and the sudden desire for the nation to be seen as self-reliant means that some amongst the Republic's body politic think it would be best for the nation to handle the situation alone --accepting a slower development speed in exchange for the win (however weak) of developing a vaccine locally. That said, others argue that national pride be damned, the Republic should graciously accept all offers of aid in order to get a vaccine developed ASAP. Still more, meanwhile, suggest accepting offers of aid from fellow ORDI nations; arguing that the bonds between the Republic and its neighbours should be cultivated even in these trying times.
[] Accept all offers of assistance (Pyrric Rabies Vaccine is free)

===============================
Military Requisition And Design
You have 3 out of 3 Requisition Points to spend on upgrading Helghan's ground forces. These upgrades are given to all active armies at once, though the more armies you have the longer it'll take to roll out changes.
Requisition
[] Burst-Pattern Launchers: The product of a pair of machinists who have since turned to producing units for sale to Periphery militias under the Alter Stiefel label, a Burst Launcher is designed around the usefulness of high powered strikes with a minimum of tonnage invested. [See Rules Document for Statblock and Rules]
[] HDC 'Ursus' Squad Cannon: Developed by the Helghan Defence Corporation out of Bloemfontein, the Ursus Squad Cannon is a gyro-stabilised semi-automatic recoilless-rifle designed specifically for use by power armour equipped soldiers. Firing a 60mm shell at 400m/s, the Ursus substantially increases the already considerable AT firepower of power armour troopers.
Design

Can I just say that is a really weird thing to design into your 280 meter tall war machine. Going up an incline I can understand but how many 280 meter plus sheer cliffs were keeping the war planning department up at night? It is like making the M1A1 MBT unable to slip on banana peels, baffling.

May I make a suggestion on how to deal with New Oslo?
Buy the planet. With money and offers of Helghan citizenship.
We're dealing with a society that has undergone massive technological regression. The Republic and its way of life must seem nearly utopian to them. I'm willing to bet there are plenty of local nobles who'd been willing to trade their lands and titles for being rich in a far more advanced society. And I don't mean super-rich in the "rich enough to actually have political power" kind of way, simply rich enough for them and their families to live a life of luxury and never have to work for it.
Not everyone will agree, of course. Perhaps not even most of them. Some will be too prideful, and a few might honestly not find what we're offering all that appealing. But enough will take the offer to give us a foothold.
Once we have that, claim all the land on the planet not currently controlled by some other faction. Since New Oslo is so sparsely settled and most of it is an icy wasteland, that should be like 95%. Also claim sovereignty over space in the New Oslo system and the planet's orbits.
Come to think of it, this may work on some of the Pact cities as well.

[X] Plan Building up a Response
-[X] Accept all offers of assistance (Pyrric Rabies Vaccine is free)
-[X] Weaken Economy (Pact) [Easy]: By utilizing agents seeded throughout Caliban, we can weaken the economies of target by debasing their currencies with forgeries.
-[X] Expand FTL Comms Network: By offering to expand our FTL network to Rockwellawan, we may be able to more tightly bind the planet to the Republic through social and economic levers.
-[X] Joint Research Program Groundwork: Having already developed close business ties with the Aurigan Coalition's industrial centres, now is the time to grow those bonds into something meaningful. While it's too soon to approach the Coalition with the idea of a joint research program, efforts can be made towards laying the groundwork… [Progress: 1/2 turns]
-[X] Construct solar parasol over Charybdis: A hot, wet world plagued by storms, we can attempt to tame the wild weather by deploying a massive solar parasol between the planet and its sun. [Progress: 0/3 turns] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
-[X] Survey Helghan for Additional Petrusite Deposits: With the news that Petrusite deposits will eventually regenerate, now is the time to resurvey old mining sites and look for new ones. [Progress: 1/5 turns] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
-[X] Target Smuggler Network: We cannot allow Helghan military equipment to be stolen and sold to the highest bidder by criminals. As such, we should make the destruction of this network a priority. [Progress: 3/???]
-[X] Raise an Army: Task your military with forming an additional army. [Can be taken multiple times in a turn so long as there is recruitable population remaining]
-[X] Construct a military defence station over Independence
-[X] Construct two Battlemech Battalions: Task Zulim Taw with constructing two battalions worth of mechs.
-[X] Construct a Damascus-Class Carrier Squadron: Task your shipyards with constructing a squadron of Damascus-Class Carriers. [Can be taken multiple times a turn]
-[X] MAWLR Redesign: Order your design teams to redesign the MAWLR to make use of the latest technological advancements.
-[X] Colonize Charybdis [Progress: 461,342/500,000] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
-[X] Annex Tiverton (-5 influence): By deploying numerous civil, military, and diplomatic resources, the Republic should be able to annex the system of Tiverton with minimal protest from our neighbours. [Progress: 0/2 turns] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]

Okay for the Virus I think it's a no brainer we get the vacine for free so that we don't lose any research that took me the most time to figure out which would be best.
Weaken the Pact Economy to make it easier to topple them and give the Khan a better leg up on them.
Expanding the coms to Rockwellawan is also a no brainer for me because one it allows us to expand out communication network but also tie the planet closer to the HR.
The Parasol over Charybdis is a two fold option one it allows us to control the weather making the storms no longer such a treat as they where and it also theoretically opens new options for New Olso which besides how fucked that planet is why i have choosing any option for it.
I have gone over the reasons why before on why we probably need to raise a new army but also with what looks like we are heading straight for a war with the Mandate pretty soon we do need to expand the military. Which is also why ofcourse two new battalions of Mechs from Taw and building a squadron of light carriers.
Redesigning the Mawlr since WoQM means we can put one on atleast portland as it's such an important world for the republic. Speaking of which yes still want to build a defense station over Independence since it too is such a important at the moment HR world doubly since it's a water world.
Ofcourse Tiverton to remove a thorn and please the QM also removing a pirate safe haven would be such a boon to the HR's PR and safety of the area.
Then with the KF drive not going to repeat what we have discussed before but I will point out it gives us a massive boost in our heavy lift capability and my plan is after we research it through ORDI organize a refurbishment or re/building of shipyards capable of building Jumpships throughout the ORDI nations.
AS for the squad cannon that's to give our ground troops more oomph in attacking armor and mechs.
For the alligator well my lore for it is it's a Independence design and it's choices where based on the people and planet. Independence is a water world dotted with Islands so it's a amphib naturally. The choice of a Fuel-Cell engine is Fusion engines are too Rare, expensive and heavy while a standard ICE engine while extremely cheap is too heavy and goes against the people of independences choice of using clean reusable energy so a fuel-cell engine makes sense. Why not hover? which to note this design has been around since before Helghan was moved to it's currently location. Well a Hover skirt and needed equipment takes up room and is more expensive then wheel's or tracks with tracks making more sense for a Amphibious assault vehicle since it would be climbing on beaches and such so lower ground pressure would make more sense.
The Matriarch so I have gone over it before argued tiredly over it so here's the thing yes meta wise I as the creator made with the intention of being a mech fighter I did it with a couple of things in mind one mechs are rare getting rarer going up in weight class and even rarer in the periphery. Two it was influenced by Helghan knowledge of how wars are fought and battle's they have fought in since arriving which have mostly been similar to what the HR is use to. Three With those in mind I did model it after the NATO heavy tanks of the cold war that where meant to hold back the soviet flooding through the Fulda Gap. I do have up dates to the design even posted them in the thread but the crucial thing is I want those updates to come organically or atleast for the immediate updates as the HR gets feedback and learn lessons from the field.

I don't trust C* with a vaccine for our population. Not one bit.
Do you intend to keep the Khan a significant factor on Caliban in the long run? To be honest, I don't really see any reason to mess with any of the economies controlled by the local warlords on either Caliban or New Oslo. It seems like a waste of AP.
Just get to work colonizing the planets (which are, after all, almost entirely empty), and offer living conditions Khan, Pact, or feudal nobles simply can't match. Then incite their people to either revolt or vote with their feet. The warlords can then either make trouble (giving us a casus belli to stomp them flat), or sell out to us, or fade into irrelevancy until one of their descendants sells out to us.
I'm of the opinion that the FTL coms connection should be reserved solely for ORDI members.
I don't think we should attempt to expand any further corewards. It's more trouble than it's worth, and Rockwellawan has to high a population to (who are also said to be "fiercely independet") to be easily absorbed into the Helghan Republic anyway.
It's also extremely vulnerable to disruption, be it by enemy action or accident. Furthermore, we have living space aplenty, both on Charybdis and in general - even in it's current state, there ought to be areas of Charybdis that are safe for settlement where we can fit tens of millions of people yet.
The key to winning such a war is naval and areospace superiority. Not saying that we shouldn't build a few battlemech battalions, but they shouldn't be our priority. You may have a point about the carriers.
Yet more defensive commitments. I'd rather not.
This is in general something we should pay more attention to. If we continue like we have been, we risk becoming overstretched. Caliban and New Oslo are a necessity, since they're both within 30 lightyears of Helghan, but apart from that I really think we ought to stop seizing yet more territory.
