		Sighting systems, where provided, are of the most basic type, usually being limited to a sight line painted on the barrel close to the muzzle and (perhaps) a simple bubble sight for setting elevation angles.
		Of course, it is possible that 81.4/82 mm mortars with composite barrels could replace 60 mm mortars, but at present the accent seems to be on 120 mm mortars replacing their medium equivalents, even if such a prospect is still a long way off in the future.
		Mortar turret installations appear to have replaced the trend current of a decade or so ago when batteries of four or more barrels were carried over the rear of wheeled or tracked carriers.

	HIGH-ANGLE HELL: The Infantry Mortar
		Mortars were once seen as the weapons of the small fry -- but recent developments have brought about improved mortars that can decimate an area of thousands of square meters in an instant -- at a fraction of the usual size and cost of traditional artillery.
		A mortar, by simple definition, is a weapon consists of a tube into which a mortar shell is dropped.
		Future systems based on this foundation are planned to have an optional thermal imager, and extended range capability, and a greater selection of fuses and warheads.

		The PGMM is compatible with both the conventional steel 120mm mortar canister and the new lightweight composite 120mm mortar canister being developed under Lockheed Martin funding.
		The carrier mounted M121 is the same mortar system, but mounted and fired from a tracked vehicle, designated as the M1064/A3 (mortar version of the M113).
		Although the weapon system may be different from the M120 or M121, it is required to be compatible (fire the same family of US ammunition).

	Counter-mortar operations in the Sunni Triangle Infantry Magazine - Find Articles
		From August to February 2004, the enemy quickly recognized that they were running out of mortar systems and adapted their TTPs to keep the mortar systems they used.
		And third, the enemy would load the mortar system in the back of a truck (covering it with fruit or grass) and depart the area of operation (AO) using routes that would egress away from friendly units moving to the POO.
		These systems are very effective if the enemy is allowed to fire from the same general points of origin without interdiction or repercussion by coalition forces.

		Although self-propelled mortars are not new, crews previously had to expose themselves in open hatches to load their weapons.
		However, the Scandinavian AMOS advanced mortar system has taken the concept a step further by employing twin tubes, to effectively double the rate of fire of the weapon.
		Its nearest rival is the Israeli Soltam 160 mm mortar.

	SRAMS Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System
		Since the system uses along (2.5 meter) barrel, loading was a considerable challenge, which was solved by the application of an automatic muzzle loading system.
		To sustain such a rapid firing rate, the company developed a unique patented cooling system and a breech valve that removes trapped air from the tube and enables the bomb to fall freely into the barrel significantly reducing the loading sequence.
		The mortar is designed to produce low recoil forces of less than 20 tons.

	Defense Tech: R2-D2 vs. Mortar Rounds
		A common tactic of the insurgents in Iraq is to set up a mortar (often in a residential neighborhood), quickly pop off a few rounds at an unsuspecting US or Iraqi military base, and then get out of the area before any response can be made.
		Mortars are small and fairly easy to use, which means that large numbers of operators are available and they can pretty much come and go as they please.
		The Navy's Phalanx CIWS system, an autonomous 20mm gatling gun capable of firing up to 4,500 rounds per minute, has been modified to defend ground units.

		The development of precision-guided mortar ammunition has been a chequered affair with many programmes falling by the wayside because of budgetary, technical and doctrinal problems.
		But by the mid-1990s, the first systems had entered frontline use and a number of programmes around the world were at an advanced stage.
		The only western system in frontline use is the SAAB/Bofors Strix that has been in service with the Swedish Army since 1994 and also has been ordered by the Swiss Army.

		A mortar is an indirect fire weapon, which is available as a man-carried version, towed by a motor vehicle, floor-mounted on an ACV or turreted.
		Therefore, turreted mortars are the upper end of mortar systems in terms of rate of fire, mobility and level of protection of the crew.
		However, the specifications concerning the mortar are not yet finalized, and may eventually be such as to not to exclude non-turreted mortars.

		One of the key objectives was that the system would have the same ballistic characteristics as the US 155 mm towed M198 (which weighs 7,163 kg) but would be much lighter, with a target weight of no more than 4,000 kg in its baseline form.
		The system's ammunition load would depend on whether a manual or automatic ammunition handling system was installed: 60 rounds would be carried in the former case or 37 in the latter.
