Lightweight Handheld Mortar Ballistic Computer

Abstract

While supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, the enhanced functionality of the Lightweight Handheld Mortar Ballistic Computer (LHMBC) in providing updated ballistic solutions to fire missions for infantry mortar combat units has proven to be a great success. With the LHMBC, mortar fire direction centers are computing faster, more accurate ballistic solutions to fire missions for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar systems.
