EIMOS
is a unique system in the market integrating an EXPAL 81 mm mortar, in
a 4X4 lightweight vehicle. EIMOS is the natural evolution of the mortar,
the adaptation of a traditional weapon to the current technological situation
that fits with the latest Army requirements in the Mortar Fire Support
scene. Automatic aiming and control system facilitates shooting procedures as well as it allows EIMOS to get into Fire Position rapidly. The system improves precision with minimum effort, less instruction and personnel required, and saving firepower. All of this allows EIMOS to give high efficient response to fire support orders. The elastic device developed reduces the efforts and vibrations transmitted to the vehicle, due to its long crossing design and optimized brake, allowing integration in most of the light all-terrain vehicles, without significant adaptations. It has been tested on bench and on a 4X4 lightweight vehicle, in any charge, unfavourable conditions and combined resistance tests. The EIMOS system can also be adapted to the customer needs and final requirements, while facilitating integration with legacy systems such as vehicle platforms, communications means or other command and control (C2) systems. EIMOS can be used in association with TECHFIRE, EXPAL´s Fire Support Information System. The precision on shooting data and ballistic corrections are automatically calculated, optimizing the accuracy and decreasing munitions consumption and collateral damages. Of special importance in this area is the Demilitarization activity that EXPAL offers, providing solutions for on-site recovery and disposal of obsolete ammunition, minimizing the logistics problems caused by this material. EXPAL has a permanent trade office in Kuala Lumpur to coordinate all activities in the area of the Southeast Asia region, Australia and New Zealand. |
