Mortar Systems
The 60 mm M224 Lightweight Company Mortar serves in light infantry formations, including the Armys 75th Ranger
Regiment. With a maximum range of approximately 3,500 meters, the M224 provides indirect fire support across
the entire company front and at sufficient range to engage targets out to the limit of the company zone of influence.
Tactical ammunition options include a high-explosive/multioption fuze, high-explosive-point detonating, white
phosphorous/smoke and illumination. The smoothbore system can be gravity-fired or fired by using a manual
spring-loaded firing system. It uses the M64A1 (replacing the M4) sight, which is self-illuminated for night operations.
Procurement of this system began in FY 1978 with more than 2,000 units fielded to the Army and Marine Corps.
The 81 mm M252 Mortar is the Armys designation for the Royal Ordnance L16A2 system, originally referred to as
the I-81 (improved). The M252 has a maximum range in excess of 5,935 meters, making it capable of indirect fire
support across the entire battalion front at sufficient range to engage targets out to the battalions zone of influence.
With a sustained firing rate of 15 rounds per minute, the M252 can fire a variety off NATO-standard ammunition,
including high-explosive, red phosphorous/smoke and illumination.
The M821a2 was type classified with the M734A1 fuze to improve the safety, performance and producibility of
the the cartridge. The use of an HF-1 steel body on the M889A1, M821A1 and M821A2 cartridges significantly
improves the lethality over previous generations of 81 mm cartridges.
The 120 mm (M120/M121) Mortar System provides and organic indirect fire-support capability to the maneuver unit
commander. It is a conventional smoothbore, muzzle-loaded mortar system that provides increased range, lethality
and safety compared to the World War II-vintage 4.2-inch heavy mortar system it replaces in mechanized infantry,
motorized, armored and cavalry units. With a maximum range of 7,240 meters, the system is used in both towed
(M120) and carrier-mounted (M121) versions and fires a family of enhanced ammunition that is produced in the
United States.
Initial fieldings of the towed version began in September 1991 at Fort Lewis, Wash., followed by fielding of the M1064
carrier-mounted system. The subsequent upgrade of force package I and II carriers to M1064A3 configuration has
been completed.
A complete Family of 120 mm Enhanced Mortar Ammunition is being produced by several government and
commercial sources. The M933/934 high-explosive round received full materiel release and is in production.
The M929 white phosphorous/smoke received full material release in the second quarter of 1999 and is also
in production. The M929 incorporates the M734A1 multioption fuze, which significantly improves performance,
lethality, reliability and electronic countermeasure protection.
The M734A1 fuze is being incorporated into the improved 120 mm M934A1 high-explosive (HE) round. This round
was released in the fourth quarter of 2000 and has 50 percent more lethality than its predecessor.
FY 2003 program projections call for development and qualification of an insensitive munition solution for the
M934A1 HE round, which is designated M934A1E1.
