dc.description.abstract Mortars will still play an important roll in modern warfare. This paper describes a unique way of setting up a mortar with minimum of extra equipment. A mortar can be set-up, by using the current mechanical mortar sight and a prismatic mirror with a bearing sensor. This concept focuses directly on one of the most cumbersome aspects of a mortar set-up, namely the use of aiming posts. The prismatic mirror and bearing dials is described as well as the required setup procedures. The measurement of effectiveness, of a mortar system, showed that the concept has many advantages. en
