EM&E Group revolutionizes the market with its 120 mm EMOC, featuring barrel-integrated inertial navigation, deployment in under 20 seconds, and the lowest weight in its category market-wide.
There are systems that improve, and systems that change the approach. EM&E Group’s EMOC belongs to the second category; it does not merely optimize what already existed, but completely rethinks from the ground up how a vehicle-mounted mortar carrier should operate on the battlefield.
Today’s conflict environments have turned electronic warfare into a primary tactical variable. Dependence on satellite signals is now a real vulnerability. EM&E Group has responded to this challenge with a structural solution: integrating the Inertial Navigation System (INS) directly into the mortar barrel.
Unlike conventional systems, which calculate ballistics from the vehicle platform, the EMOC performs these calculations from the exact point of the projectile’s exit. The result is an accuracy of less than 10 meters, even when the GPS signal is degraded, jammed, or simply unavailable. It is not an incremental improvement; it is a completely different architecture.
850 kg to integrate where others cannot
With a weight of 850 kg and a payload requirement of under one ton, the EMOC is the lightest 120 mm mortar carrier system available on the market. This figure is not just a technical specification; it is what makes its integration into conventional 4x4 vehicles possible without compromising either the stability or the operational capability of the platform.
The design prevents the transfer of firing energy to the chassis, preserving the structural integrity of the vehicle. Furthermore, compatibility with both 81 mm and 120 mm calibers, both at maximum rate of fire, broadens the spectrum of missions the system can cover. With EM-120 ammunition, the certified range for the 120 mm configuration reaches 8,450 meters.
20 seconds to shoot and scoot
In modern indirect fire doctrine, exposure time is just as critical as accuracy. The EMOC can deploy and stow in less than 20 seconds, and it is capable of firing three rounds in less than one minute from a moving position. This capability makes the ‘shoot-and-scoot’ tactic viable on a scale that very few systems on the market can match.
For scenarios where electronics fail to respond, the system incorporates emergency manual overrides for both aiming and stowing, ensuring mission continuity.
Technology from end to end
Behind every specification, there is an industrial decision. EM&E Group fully develops the mechanics, electronics, and software of the EMOC in-house. This technological sovereignty not only eliminates third-party dependencies but also allows the system to be tailored to each client’s specific requirements with an agility that external component integrators cannot offer.
The EMOC’s open architecture also facilitates its integration with different fire control systems (FCS) and the company’s own smart ammunition, closing a capabilities ecosystem that goes beyond hardware.
With this evolution, EM&E Group consolidates the EMOC as a benchmark in vehicle, mounted mortar carriers, a system designed not to adapt to yesterday’s battlefield, but to operate with an advantage on today’s.
