The Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) is going “high-tech” with their latest acquisition for an unspecified number of 81 mm Mortars by requiring a portable Ballistic Computer with it and a portable Electro-Optical (EO) System for the Forward Observer (FO) unit.
The Ballistic Computer will be encased in a Shockproof, Water-resistant Aluminum Case while the EO system for the FO will have a Laser Rangefinder and Thermal Imager. The Laser Rangefinder will enable accurate measurement of distance while the Thermal Imager will allow observations to be made at night.
Bidding is set for this month with the Contract Price at Php 186 million. If successful, delivery is set to within one year from the receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).
