60 mm LONG RANGE MORTAR PRODUCT SYSTEMS

introduction

The 60 mm Long Range Mortar Product System provides the Motorised and Parachute Infantry with an integrated, accurate and supportable Indirect Fire Support capability.

This system entails the 60 mm weapon (including H-019 sight), ammunition, fire control (observation and fire directing), training simulator subsystems and products with their associated logistic support. The system is a complete integrated Indirect Fire Support Product System which has two system configurations, the Armoured Personnel Carrier Mortar Variant and the Ground Role IFS-PS.

Fire Directing System

A handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) solution as Mortar Fire Control (MFC) was developed for the 60mm Mortar System, used in conjunction with a Laser Range Finder (LRF). The LRF has an onboard compass to fulfil target acquisition and fire adjustment tasks. The accuracy is based on the magnetic compass and the PDA takes into account the magnetic declination.

The Observer Control Computer is based on the PDA as the MFC, fitted with onboard GPS and a serial communication port adapter for external interfaces.
