Battalion Mortar System Modernization
Abstract
The Battalion Mortar System Modernization Project supports the development and demonstration of modernized Mortar Weapon Systems to support Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs) and Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs). Efforts include development and qualification of said modernized systems and their required components that will increase lethality, survivability, mobility and readiness. FY 2025 funding will enable design and development effort for the weapon and mobility system for next generation 81mm and 120mm mortar weapon systems. The weapon and mobility systems will be qualified and integrated directly onto light tactical vehicles such as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) and/or Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The mobility system will address obsolescence by eliminating the need for a trailer mounted Mortar Stowage Kit (MSK). The modernized system will increase survivability, maneuverability, and provide a tactical advantage to the Warfighter when matched with pacing threat for direct and indirect fire and will provide overmatching capabilities.
