Fastest Mobile Mortar System Joins US Military Arsenal
The US Army has awarded a contract to Global Military Products for the purchase and integration of Scorpion Light mobile mortar systems, touted as the ‘fastest mobile mortar system in the World’. The systems will be integrated with digital fire control technologies and government-furnished M253 mortar barrels onto the Army’s new Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U) platforms. This development follows the US Marine Corps’ order for similar systems, with the Army’s version designed to meet individual requirements. The project was reported by Defense Express.
