The Challenge

A 120 mm mortar produces forces of over 350,000 pounds when fired. High firing rates affect the reliability and life of the baseplates that support these mortar systems. The Mortar Plate Test System (MPTS) replicates the forces experienced during live fire with a cycle rate over 10 impacts per minute.

The Solution

The MPTS uses high pressure air to fire steel “bullets” into a specialized hydraulic programmer and fixture which transmits the desired impact pulse into the baseplate. The MPTS will allow the Army to develop new baseplate designs that reduce the load on soldiers, allowing them to maneuver more quickly and with less effort while maintaining baseplate reliability standards.
