MORTAR SYSTEMS
Abstract
The Mortar System and Fire Control Modernization Project funds engineering development and demonstration of new technologies that will support modernized mortar weapon and mortar fire control systems. This includes capabilities that provide commonality between current and future weapon and fire control systems to help mitigate technology shortfalls and critical capability gaps. Future mortar systems that address these gaps include (but are not limited to) remote mortar turrets for mounted mortar systems, high-pressure capable cannons/components, and composite/lightweight components for dismounted systems. Mortar Fire Control Systems capabilities include lightweight inertial measurement and navigation (IMU/INU) units for weapon pointing, simplified Ethernet/wireless-based digital communications interfaces, development of updated fire control software to enable commonality, integration with existing/future platform interfaces, and support for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)/modified commercial off-the-shelf (MCOTS) fire control components. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding will support development and prototyping of new mortar weapon system and mortar fire control system technologies.
