Abstract : In order to build modern weapon systems that are highly precise and low collaterally dam-length (LCD) some kind of next-gen launch system had to be developed. The paper introduced the concept, design, development and performance of a Compact Electromagnetic Mortar System (CEMS)--a device suitable for use in tactical military situations. Combining electromagnetic acceleration, in a coilgun configuration, with the launch of mortar rounds will permit an unprecedented degree of precision, lethality, range and obliquity as compared to today 's conventional mortar techniques that make use of chemical expellant. As it is quite small, foot soldiers can carry it or it can be installed in light vehicles and unmanned platforms. Either way, on the battlefield it adds mobility and flexibility. Capable of high-power bursts released by high-capacity condensers, the ferromagnetic or hybrid armature moves quickly thanks to energy poured into electromagnetic coils are ranged for sequential firing. The principal engineering obstacles that had to be surmounted were that of heat management, the efficiency of energy and power system miniaturization to drive and control reliable fire and control algorithms for accurate firing and sequences targeting.
