The E-COMPAX is an electronic aiming device to provide firing aiming data to mortars such as orientation and elevation. The system reduces the time for firing to only 30 seconds and the after-firing adjustment to less than 5 seconds.

The E-Compax is anchored to the mortar with a NATO standard mounting dovetail. Similar in size and weight to a standard sight unit. It combines technologies of the inertial sensor with optical image tracking, resulting in a robust and reliable 3DOF orientation.

The E- Compax Software helps the mortar operator to aim the mortar, advising on turning the elevation and orientation cranks, regardless of the use of the leveling crank. In only 30 seconds, it is ready for firing and reduces the after-firing adjustment in less than 5 seconds.

The E-Compax needs few maintenance operations: only calibration and collimation. The software of the E-Compax implements all necessary functionalities to perform aiming, either in a stand alone mode (on its own tablet) or integrated into an FCS (Firing Control system) computer
