IMI has introduced a 120mm guided mortar bomb utilizing a combination of homing on a laser spot. The 13.7kb bomb uses four electrically actuated forward canards to control the bomb’s trajectory and guide it to a 1 meter CEP around the designated spot, from ranges of 1.5 through 10.5 kilometers. The system utilizes IMI’s Pure Heart generic guidance kit which is also used in other guided munitions developed by IMI.
