EIMOS Expal Integrated Mortar System

The Spanish defense company EXPAL - one of the world leaders in mortar systems - has developed an integrated system of mortar EIMOS. EIMOS EXPAL - a unique integrated system for the mortar mortars with a caliber 81 mm or 60 mm, based on a light armored vehicle 4x4. EIMOS - the next step in the evolution of the mortar, which consists in the adaptation of conventional weapons to the current technological capabilities, are made in accordance with the latest requirements for mortar support.

Combining the power of long-range 81 mm or 60 mm mortars, with the possibility of automotive transportation, make the system indispensable in the modern battlefield. Automatic guidance and control system facilitates the process of shooting, and also allows you to quickly determine the EIMOS firing position. The system provides the most accurate delivery of fire with minimal effort on the part of staff.

Expal EIMOS consists of a rotary table on the rear platform of a light armored car 4x4, on which the mortars with a caliber of 60 mm or 81 mm, rotating in the vertical and horizontal planes. Mortar has a hydro-pneumatic recoil system with maximum efficiency at 300 mm. According EXPAL, the system reduces the recoil force of more than 90 percent, and allows Expal based on light vehicles without modifying the 4x4 chassis.

Expal EIMOS has a flexible system for automatic guidance and reliable fire control system. Vibrations transmitted by the vehicle when firing, reduced by a special design and optimized brake, allowing the system to integrate the majority of the light all-terrain vehicles without significant rework. The system makes automatic adjustments, given the very small changes in the position of the vehicle that allows you to open fire immediately after the positioning.

Expal EIMOS can be used in connection with TECHFIRE, fire support information system for mortar and artillery shells. EXPAL TECHFIRE to automate ballistic calculations to get the most recent technological advances, including a wide range of sensors, GPS, laser and inertial navigator telemeters. It connects the forward observer with the unit commander that can control up to 16 mortars. This allows EIMOS come to a halt of the fire problem and move to another firing position to counter battery fire back. Expal EIMOS can be used in combination with TECHFIRE EXPAL - a system of information support of the fire, allowing automated ballistics calculations and get the maximum benefit from the latest technological advances.

Data on shooting accuracy and ballistic corrections are calculated in an automatic mode that optimizes firing, reducing the flow of ammunition and collateral damage. EIMOS Expal a proven system, with its power, flexibility and adaptability needed to meet today's missions. In addition, the system is reasonably priced and easy to maintain, since most of its components can be fit into the supply chain of the regular equipment of the army. fighting vehicle equipped with a system Expal EIMOS, can be deployed in a firing position in less than 10 seconds. The fire control system, you need only 20 seconds to determine the goals, and 10 seconds for her appointment and start shooting. Accuracy of fire is less than 2 meters. Armament 60 mm or 81-mm mortar firing range 81-mm mortar - 6900 m 60-mm mortar - 4900 m Weight 500 kg (depending on modification) assembly motors (up to 2 kW). The hydraulic system efficiency (maximum output of 300 mm), which absorbs impact more than 90%.
