The JLTV mortar carrier is fitted with an Elbit Systems’ SPEAR, a fully autonomous, vehicle-mounted
120mm soft recoil mortar system mounted at the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle has a crew cab located at the front vehicle providing armor protection against firing of small arms and artillery shell splinters.

The SPEAR is equipped with a recoil reduction system that reduces the mortar’s firing loads from 30+ tons to as low as 12-15 tons, the “soft recoil” allows the SPEAR to be mounted on a variety of high mobility light tactical vehicles such as HMMWVs, jeeps and other high-mobility rapid deployment wheeled platforms as well as bigger wheeled or tracked platforms.

The SPEAR is equipped with computerized aiming and navigation devices, enabling the mortar system to be operated autonomously and aimed without the need for external reference points. SPEAR can be easily integrated with a variety of C4I or Battle Management Systems (BMS).
