The video and photos depict the TASCS IFM system fitted on the 81 mm mortar and firing at a range of 2,600 metres. With TASCS IFM, the mortar team is able to acquire targets in 15 seconds compared to the traditional 15 minutes, and engage targets with unprecedented accuracy. The 81mm mortar is just one of many firing platforms that can be fitted with the TASCS IFM systems and requires no modification of the firing platform or ammunition. It effectively turns a traditional “dumb” firing platform into a “smart” weapons system by providing soldiers on the ground with real-time networked situational awareness and precision targeting information.
