Automated 81 mm mortar fire support

Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV presents MORTAVIS MWS-81, a modern 81 mm smoothbore mortar weapon system integrating automatic barrel laying, recoil mitigation and digital fire control in a compact turret architecture.

The system is designed for installation on qualified tracked and tactical wheeled vehicles or stationary platforms. It supports rapid mission preparation, automatic or manual firing modes, digital mapping, muzzle-velocity measurement and integration with command-and-control systems.

Automatic laying and fire control

The automatic barrel-laying system uses inertial-navigation information and validated fire-control data to orient the mortar for the assigned mission. The mission-oriented graphical interface presents the information required by the operator and supports efficient execution of the firing sequence.

Manual and automatic modes allow procedures to be adapted to the programme, platform and authorized rules of operation. Final system accuracy remains dependent on platform alignment, navigation quality, ammunition, ballistic data, muzzle-velocity measurement and environmental conditions.

Recoil mitigation and platform integration

The integrated recoil mechanism manages firing loads within the turret architecture and supports installation on qualified tactical platforms. Vehicle integration includes structural analysis, load transfer, centre of gravity, firing sectors, power, communication, crew access and ammunition stowage.

MORTAVIS MWS-81 can also be engineered for a stationary installation. The final mounting arrangement and permissible firing envelope are established through platform-specific design and qualification.

Ballistics and muzzle-velocity measurement

Fire-control calculations can use a NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel implementation together with programme-validated weapon, ammunition and environmental data. Integrated muzzle-velocity measurement provides mission-relevant feedback for the configured firing process.

Compatibility with individual mortar ammunition types is subject to interface analysis, ballistic-data availability, safety approval and firing qualification.

Digital mapping and command integration

Digital mapping supports mission awareness and weapon positioning, while command-and-control interfaces allow the system to exchange authorized mission, status and coordination information with the wider fire-support network.

Interface implementation is customer-specific and subject to communications, cyber-security, information-assurance and interoperability requirements.
