Attach some sort of GPS guidance package to a mortor round and I am sure they could be just as accurate as a JDAM.

The good news is, you've got your wish. The bad news is, it's not our round. It's Russian, the Kitolov-2 120mm projectile for use in 120mm mortars. Range 9,000m, We'll be along shortly, I expect.

We'll be along shortly, I expect.

Not unless some palms get some serious greasing at the Pentagon.

What's the advantage to breech loading mortars other than more control when the weapon is fired, i.e. the weapon is already loaded, waiting to fire?

Attach some sort of GPS guidance package...

I believe the first of the new generation of bunker buster bombs was an 8" cannon barrel, filled with liquid HE, and given a laser guidance package.

That was in the waning days of Gulf War I. The bombs were still cooling from the HE when loaded for transport.

Final delivery was by FB111's.
