MORTARS MUNITIONS AND COMPONENTS
81mm RCGM
81mm RCGM
81mm Roll Controlled Guided Mortar (RCGM)
Affordable, Precision-Guided Mortar
How the RCGM works:
Target coordinates are programed into the RCGM using a portable GPS setter. The fuze is set manually to proximity, point detonate, or delay modes. Once the mortar is launched the on-board GPS acquires satellites and determines the mortar’s position and vertical reference (up). Based on continuous GPS updates, the auto-pilot calculates corrections and sends commands to the canards to continuously maneuver the mortar toward the target. Upon impact the mortar detonates in the desired mode.
