US Army with its behemoth spending budget is now looking to drop about $5 million dollars on GPS guided mortars to kill more efficiently. The high tech mortars are needed to fight in Afghanistan where targeting people along mountain ridgelines and other high positions is apparently an issue.


Currently there are three companies competing for the contract of developing 120mm precision mortars compatible with the M120 system under the Accelerated Precision Mortar Initiative: Raytheon, GD, and Alliant Techsystems.
