These days in Ottawa, Canada, CANSEC Arms Exhibition 2019. During its course, General Dynamics introduced a new generation of its precision mortar systems..
GD showcases RCGM guided mortar project. According to company presentation, in conflicts like today, so tomorrow, there is a high need to increase the accuracy of striking a target and reduce collateral damage. 81-mm General Dynamics’s guided mine should be an affordable and flexible solution to this issue.
Target coordinates are entered into RCGM using a mobile GPS software unit. The fuse is manually set to one of several damage modes.. Mina can explode at some distance to the target, at a specific point or the explosion may occur with a delay.
Since the shot, the mine constantly receives information on-board GPS, which the, using movable tail, adjusts touchdown point. When hit, a mortar shot detonates in the desired mode.
The error when using RCGM is about 5 meters at a distance from 980 to 4000 m. You can convert any standard 81-mm mine of a NATO standard into a high-precision munition.
