Mortar Simulator
InVeris Training Solutions offers three realistic, tethered
Mortar Simulators, easily integrated into the FATS® 100MIL
small arms training system.
These mortar simulators include: In order to further enhance training value and gunnery
• M224 60MM Mortar Simulator skills, a Forward Observer (FO) or squad commander will
• M252 81MM Mortar Simulator view the small arms training scenario to make calls for
• 120MM Mortar Simulator fire and adjustments of fire based on target location and
location of round impact. A crew member will perform
Providing accurate training for mortar crews, InVeris’ mortar the Fire Direction Center (FDC) function and can use
simulators require mortar men to replicate the call for fire
exactly as they would in the field. Each mortar includes
three (3) each of High Explosive (HE), White Phosphorous
(WP) and Illumination (ILLUM) simulated rounds, and use
CFE bipods that have been modified for use on the system.
InVeris’ mortar simulators do not require a direct line of
sight with the SAT projection screen in indirect fire mode.
However, mortar simulators need to be positioned within
the maximum length of the weapon trunkline. The mortar
base will be firmly mounted in a dedicated customer-
furnished mortar firing platform (i.e. sensors mounted
beneath the base for determining deflection and elevation
of tube and for detecting round type, charge/fuze settings
when round is dropped into tube).

any methodology of plotting. In accordance with firing
commands, trainees can set proper mortar deflection and
elevation, select appropriate round type, attach charge
rings, set fuze position and fire the mortar. Simulated
mortar rounds include safety pins as per the live rounds,
and a cutout at the bottom of the tube supports trainee
removal of the round after firing.
The mortar simulators provide sufficient recoil to disturb the
operator’s sight picture, requiring the trainee to achieve a
proper aligned or compensated sight picture during each
adjustment. In addition, the mortar realistically simulates
weapon ballistics for each mortar simulator and round type,
with scaled aiming posts provided.
To provide follow up results for credible training, InVeris’
after action review includes deflection, elevation and round
details for every round fired and visual representation on
where rounds landed. Other optional features include:
• Binoculars - Optional binoculars can be provided for
use by the Forward Observer (FO) during mortar training.
These optional binoculars have been optimized for the
firing line distance of the SAT and include reticle patterns
(either Commonwealth or US versions).
• Laser Rangefinder - Optional simulated laser
rangefinders can be provided for use by the FO during
training.
InVeris Training Solutions’ mortar simulators can be easily
integrated into the FATS® 100MIL system, are scalable and
provide additional preparation and valuable instruction for
combat readiness.
