Default Re: Dragon Fire II 120mm Mortar

Yep. And I´ve heard the americans were / are also very interested in it. But their problem is that they never want to buy anybody elses equipment (except the rheinmetalls guns).
And the FN guns, the Beretta pistols, the Bofors LAWs, Rafael ERA... oh, and the latest, the UH-72A Lakota aka Eurocopter* EC-145!
*OK, it's a joint American Eurocopter-Sikorsky venture 100% built stateside, so the only winners on the European side are EADS shareholders...

Back to the topic, I wonder if there couldn't be a cultural shock related to the fact that all older US mortars (including the Dragon Fire) are able to be fired from outside their carrier vehicle, which the turreted AMOS can't do.
Given the USMC still focuses on infantry-based units and tactics and airmobility (correct me if I'm wrong), a vehicle-only solution might not be the best.
Now if we're only talking about the FCS...
