Ensuring tactical superiority through mobility & firepower for the future operating environment
Mortar systems remain a vital indirect fire support asset on today's evolving battlefield, and tactical combined units need to meet high accuracy, extended range and increase firepower against enemy forces in a context of high intensity warfare.
Thales has designed, developed and manufactured advanced mobile and protected mortar systems. Thales’s 120mm mortars have been successfully deployed in all modern battlefields and match the requirements for new operational shoot & scout mobile mortar system.
The 2R2M system can be easily integrated into any tracked and large types of 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 wheeled military platforms above 15 tons. Thales's 2R2M is capable of delivering highly mobile, lethal, and accurate fire support. The 2R2M delivers a multiple indirect fire range (from 8 to 13km) and an extended precision-guided mortar munitions (17km) and high rate of indirect fire support for troops in contact to achieve tactical superiority over the enemy.
Key Figures:
- 1st supplier for Armies with rifled mortars in Europe
- More than 150 2R2M mortar system sold in 6 countries
- 3 million rifled ammunition delivered around the world
Supporting combined unit and troops thanks to precision-guided ammunition on the frontline battlefield
Combat vehicles & remote weapon station need to deliver multiple effects with efficient weapon systems, meeting high accuracy, extended range and increased firepower against enemy forces in a context of high intensity warfare.
Thales has designed, developed and manufactured a laser-guided rocket (LGR), which is adapted to ground-to-ground applications. The 2.75’’/70mm LGR systems have been successfully deployed in different RWS and from combat vehicle to UGV, matching new operational concepts of operation.
The LGR can be easily integrated into any turret and RWS combat platform. Thales's LGR is capable of delivering accurate and efficient firepower, with an easy integration. The LGR covers a multiple indirect (BLOS) or direct (LOS) fire support at range up to 7000m and multiple terminal effects with various warheads including shape charge effector. This new LGR capability supports troops in achieving tactical superiority over the enemy.
Key Figures:
- In services in more than 70 Armed Forces worldwide
- Installed on 500 platforms
- 8 million rockets delivered around the world
