RUAG launches COBRA mortar systems
RUAG Defence launched its latest COBRA 120mm mortar system at IDEX 2015, the company announced on 16 March.
COBRA is a modular system that can be configured to suit individual requirements. It comes with a pre-equipped semi-automatic loader system that can function under diverse extreme weather conditions, in day and night.
The mortar system also features fully electronic drives for improved shoot-and-scoot capabilities, and an effective range of 9km. It has been designed to be integrated into any lightweight tracked or wheeled vehicle platform.
The COBRA mortar system features RUAG's ballistic computing, giving it automatic gun laying and multi-round single impact capabilities. It can fire any standard 120mm ammunition, including the latest-generation smart ammunition. It comes with a training solutions and logistic services suite.
