They've Improved Mortar Finding Radar Since I Was In Vietnam!

Mortar finding radar follows the trajectory of a mortar round and does a reverse trajectory calculation to compute the location of the mortar and feeds the coordinates to the artillery. Pretty efficient, get the location and computes the trajectory and launches the retaliatory round quite quickly.

Here's the text that came with the video when it was sent to me:

This video was ACTUALLY made by the bad guys. The cameraman is filming his friend as he praises Allah and launches mortar shots at American troops. Little does he know that new mortar shell tracking technology can track the trajectory of a hostile round and fire a retaliatory shot to precisely the spot from which the hostile shell was fired. This only requires the hostile mortar to fire 2 to 3 rounds.

Count the number of mortar rounds the masked insurgent fires in the video. See how well it works. If you listen carefully you can hear the single round from the American artillery fired in the distance. It comes just after the terrorist fires his third round - and his fourth round drops down the tube but that's as far as it gets.

No more Allah Akbars from this source!
