		Two species of wild swine, Sus vittatus and Sus verrucosus, are exceedingly abundant, the former in the hot, the latter in the temperate, region; and their depredations are the cause of much loss to the natives, who, however, being Mahommedans, to whom pork is abhorrent, do not hunt them for the sake of their flesh.
		Common night-birds are the owl (Strix flammea) and the goatsucker (Caprimulgus affinis).
		The sculptures which run round the base and along the sides of the platforms or terraces are of the most elaborate and varied description - kings on thrones, dwarfs, elephants, supernatural beings, diabolical and grotesque, tree-monsters, palaces, temples, courtyards, lakes, gardens, forests - all are represented.

	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.
		While precision mortar munitions (at $10,000-$20,000 a piece) are more expensive than the mortar rounds typically fired, when a ground commander needs immediate precision ground support, they are priceless.

		Typically a modern mortar consists of a tube into which is dropped a mortar shell (bomb) onto a firing pin resulting in the detonation of the propellant and the firing of the shell.
		Spigot Mortars are a particular type of mortar which use a (mostly) solid rod barrel or spigot, with a hollow tube in the projectile into which the spigot fits, inverting the normal tube mortar arrangement.
		A mortar round could be aimed to fall directly into trenches where artillery shells, due to their low angle of flight, could not possibly go.

	Advanced Mortar Munitions
		Strix produced by SAAB/Bofors, can engage targets at a range of 7 km, operates in an autonomous heat-seeking mode which can intelligibly recognize targets and discriminate targets among decoys and burning targets.
		A "semi-smart" mortar munition is under development at Soltam Defense for 120mm tubes.
		The idea is to fire a single mortar round on target to neutralize it, thus saving the costly ammunition spent in traditional ranging process.

		Large numbers of these mortars remain in service outside the USA but it is generally agreed that their long term prospects are limited in respect to service life, most examples being years old and retained only in place of anything more up-to-date.
		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.

	armada international: 5/98-001i
		Some studies had been conducted with TDA to adapt slip rings to the Strix to make it compatible with rifled barrels, but these have been dropped due to loss of interest from the potential customer (the latter was never revealed, but at the time Italy was known to be eyeing the system).
		The advantage of optical fibre is that, unlike smart rounds, the expensive "brains" remain within the fire control unit and are not expended, which results in a cheaper to use weapon.
		It would be one member of a family that the firm calls the Generic Aced (one mortar round would carry two Aced submunitions) and uses a combination of millimetric wave radar and imaging infrared sensors to guide a top-attack munition.

		Mortars also have evolved to include new technologies, rectifying the previous lack of a hard-target and multi-purpose engagement capability.
		As well as improvements in the mortar system, precision engagement was pursued during the early 1990s to enhance the effectiveness of the ammunition.
		Increasing ranges achieved by mortars already threaten the traditional role of the light gun, and the nature of warfare and the imposition of arms-control treaties, including the conventional forces in Europe (CFE) protocols, mean an expanded operational environment for the mortar.

	Smart mortar
		A seeker in the in-bound round detects the reflected laser light and small moveable fins steer the weapon towards the target.
		The 120mm ACED directed-effect anti-armour round is a definition study being conducted by TDA to capitalise on technology use in the ACED 155mm smart artillery round.
		Smart rounds are still in their infancy and look like becoming an area of great interest worthy of special attention over the coming years as armies look to field increasing numbers of precision-guided weapons.

		This round has no damaging effects (other than incidental impact damage one might suffer from being hit directly by the round, if you are that unlucky).
		Instead, the round is 75% to immediately extinguish all fires within the burst radius, and 25% likely to immediately extinguish all fires within the secondary burst radius.
		The round must be guided by someone with a laser designator, in the same manner as a CLGP.

		Another round you might not be familiar with is the M898 SADARM round.
		It's a lot smarter than the STRIX rounds, and can be fired from the SP or towed 155mm guns which are more widely used than the 120mm mortar vehicles, and also has a much further range.

	Merlin Guided Anti-Armor Projectile - Archived 10/1997
		Designed for use by infantry units, the Merlin guided mortar projectile was to be used for the long range destruction of tanks and other armored vehicles in all types of weather in day or night by the use of 81 millimeter mortars.
		The Merlin is supplied and stored as any other type of mortar round; the shelf life is stated by the contractor to be at least ten years.
		However, our research related to the potential for guided mortar projectiles in general is still bullish; even so, the chances of an 81 millimeter guided mortar projectile becoming available are now a somewhat more remote.

		A version that could be fired from mortars is a good idea, but I belive the diameter is too large for the smaller mortars.
		Also the PGMM program should have some huge advances in mortar capabilities, and if the follow through with the Fiber optic guided mortar round, a simple ESM antenna on the vehicle could tell them in what direction and at what range the target radar should be.
		They are no more expensive than a Cargo mortar shell, don't need any ground apparatus to "fire" them or protect them from enemy ground forces or counter-battery fire, so from a system's cost perspective, they are no more precious and should not be fought that way.

		It would use a Strix or Merlin type indirect anti-armor round against hard vehicle or structure targets, and a Direct-Fire anti-armor round, probably a HEAT or HESH type due to the mortar's relatively low-velocity.
		The rack would be connected to the mortar mantlet by two support rods, allowing the rack to be elevated by the mortar.
		The mortar has to set an azimuth of lay and aiming stakes/collimator to function, so a reference is already in place.
