The GPS guided mortar sounds cool.

But, what’s next? A Bluetooth interface so you can program the coordinates with an Android phone/tablet or iPhone/iPad and Google maps?

Bring up the overhead view, zoom in, drop a pin on the map. Send the pin location to the mortar shell guidance unit, and drop it in the tube.

“The GPS guided mortar sounds cool.”

It does.

For long range choices, here in Afghanistan, the HIMAR rocket gets the nod over the Excalibur. The Excalibur is not that accurate.
