The
Spanish Company Expal presents the EIMOS at DSEI
2009, a new mortar carrier system fitted to the
rear side of light wheeled vehicle URO Vamtac. The
EIMOS is an automated 81 mm mortar system that responds
to the requirements of Close Fire Support in all
kind of operations, especially asymmetric, where
response time and mobility are of great importance
to conduct short, sharp and rapid interventions.
Expal has developed and integrated the necessary
components to mount a standard 81 mm mortar in a
4x4 light wheeled vehicle.
The
uniqueness of the EIMOS system is the integration
and automation of a long range standard
81 mm mortar in a standard military light
wheeled vehicle, capable of providing effective,
timely and accurate fire support to manoeuvre
units. This results in unique shoot and
scoot capability, reduced crew effort, as
well reduced emplacement time. The mortar
can be dismounted and fired on the ground
and logistic burden is minimised by using
simple components, all of them available
in the existing Logistic Chain.
