Elbit Systems / SPEAR mounted on JLTV

elbitsystems.c...
SPEAR is a fully autonomous, vehicle-mounted 120mm soft recoil mortar system for high-mobility platforms. It's equipped with a recoil reduction system that reduces the mortar’s firing loads from 30+ tons to as low as 12-15 tons, the “soft recoil” allows the SPEAR to be mounted on a variety of high-mobility light tactical vehicles such as HMMWVs, jeeps and other high-mobility rapid deployment wheeled platforms as well as bigger wheeled or tracked platforms.

Your inventions so thrilling that a common person like me feels like should have been part of Elbit system.

[@noecarrier5035]

Thanks, red circle. I'd never have seen the 120mm mortar rounds landing otherwise...

Elbit Systems is the closest thing to a father I've ever had

[@thecoffeemaker7444]

what?

[@stupidburp]

Would be a good option for fire support of light infantry forces. Airborne forces in particular could use something like this.
Next step up could be a heavier automatic system similar to NEMO on a heavier vehicle similar to Stryker. Better protection and faster bursts of fire.
But for light weight and integration with units already using JLTV, this looks like a great option. Light logistics tail too. Looks good.

[@stupidburp]

Ukraine would love to have some of these. Many of their artillery duels are under 7km and they also are often faced with waves of infantry attacking their defensive positions.
The US Army should adopt some of these into every major light infantry unit as fire support. Probably organic to battalion and regimental levels. Used alongside many other JLTV of various types.

3 crew served mortar but the JLTV pickup just have 2 seats under armor (in cab) ...is JLTV long 2+2 seat "long cab" a possible option? Congratulation for the the integration achivement!

[@ShortArmOfGod]

Minimum crew of two.

[@corey8420]

Sure seems better than current system used by the US.

[@vicerichter1163]

Bro this is straight up scary. Yeets some fraggy-footballs into the air with accuracy and then you can advance or pull back go a different position. Or move position so enemy never knows where you be layin sum hate on them

[@timedGuano]

Dunno if it would work on a hand loaded mortar, but ya'll should put an out of battery soft recoil feature on that thing. Being the recoil down even more!

[@thalison..]

Excelente.

What's the kill radius

[@Elvis402]

120mm mortar rounds have a kill radius that spans ca 76 meters in diameter.

[@Harrison12345_h]

@@Elvis402 That's sounds like more artillery territory

[@Elvis402]

@@Harrison12345_h Do a google image search and you'll see the size of those rounds. Big mortars makes big booms!

[@dernadaarmando2948]

​@@Harrison12345_h its was just 30meter

Who is doing the aiming?
