ABSTRACT:
A weapons system including a mortar and a vehicle. The vehicle has a body including a side wall having an opening and a region constructed for receiving the mortar. The mortar includes a dividable tube having a lower tube section and a mechanism for pivotally mounting the lower tube section for movement about an essentially horizontal axis to a loading position in which it is aligned with the opening in the side wall for breech loading of the mortar. A mounting device is connected with the vehicle for mounting the mortar for movement between a traveling position in which the mortar is positioned to travel with the vehicle and a firing position in which the mortar is positioned to fire a projectile. The traveling position is delimited by the region provided in the side wall for receiving the mortar and the firing position is located on the ground in the vicinity of the vehicle.
