60mm Mortar Systems

The 60mm Long Range Mortar Indirect Fire Support System is a state-of-the-art mortar system produced by Denel Land Systems. It comprises of Weapons (with a Blunt End Mortar Fire Control Computer, an Observation Post (with LRF & MFCC) and a HQ (also with a LRF and MFCC) that can double as a Mobile Forward Observer. The complete Level 5 System includes Logistics, Technical Equipment (ST ETS) and Training Equipment (complete with a Simulator).

The main advantage of the system is very quick reaction time with a high 2nd shot hit probability. The Observation Post lazes a target and sets up a fire mission, fire permission is granted by the HQ and the target info is automatically converted into mortar sight settings at the weapons within seconds.

As soon as the 1st shot is sighted by the Observation Post, a soldier can laze the fall of shot and send the correction directly to the Blunt End. Fire will then be adjusted accordingly to the target.
