The autonomous turret can be mounted on a wide range of chassis, with remote control from the cab of the vehicle. Single back-up operator station is in the turret itself. The elevation range is 40° to 80°, the traverse is 360°. The minimum range is 504 metres and the maximum 8600 metres. The number of rounds in the carousel is 60, the cadence is 18-20 rounds per minute.

The Slovak company Kerametal, which is supplying the fire control system, and the Czech company Czechoslovak Group (CSG), which is supplying the chassis and cab, are also involved in the development. CSG's original plans included integrating the mortar on the Pandur 8x8 it produces.

At IDEB Bratislava, Defence Minister Robert Kaliňák and Chair of the Board of Directors of ZTS Špeciál Miroslav Sim unveiled Slovakia's new vehicle-mounted AM-120 Self-Propelled Mortar System. The 120mm automated mortar platform, designed and produced by ZTS Špeciál, a state-owned company based in Dubnica nad Váhom, is unique insofar as it has a sustained rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute.

Slovakia debuts rapid-fire mortar at local defense show

A ZTS Special representative told Defense News at the show that the development of the mortar began two years ago and was most recently tested a month ago.

The weapon’s main selling point, according to the manufacturer, is that it can fire approximately 20 rounds per minute, reaching distances of over eight kilometers, or five miles.

The AM-120 can carry 60 rounds, meaning one full load could be blasted out within minutes before the vehicle moves on to avoid triangulation by enemy sensors.

An analysis published earlier this year by the European Council on Foreign Relations highlighted that the Russian counter-battery fire response time is around three minutes.

Slovakia’s AM-120 will rival the Finnish NEMO 120mm self-propelled mortar, produced by Patria Group. It is the only other European system in this category advertised as reaching a maximum rate of fire of 20 shots per minute, but has a longer range than the Slovak-made mortar, capable of hitting targets located more than 10 kilometers away.

Meanwhile, neighbor Poland also produces a mortar system that can be mounted on tracked and wheeled vehicles, the M120 RAK. Designed by Polish defense company Huta Stalowa Wola, it is in service with the Ukrainian Army.

The Ministry of Defense of Slovakia has not yet announced any order for the new mortar.

Dieses Konzept klingt ziemlich praxisfern. Angefangen bei der angeblichen Kadenz von 18 - 20 Schuss pro Minute. Wie soll das logistisch bewerkstelligt werden? Und vor allem: Wie lange hält das Rohr so eine Belsstung aus?
