A weapon system includes a carrier vehicle and a vehicle dependent mortar, wherein the carrier vehicle has a crew space and a weaponry space to house the mortar, and the mortar is charged in an index position with mortar grenades, with several sheddable propellant modules on the tail shaft thereof.
A weapon system includes a carrier vehicle and a vehicle dependent mortar, wherein the carrier vehicle has a crew space and a weaponry space to house the mortar, and the mortar is charged in an index position with mortar grenades, with several sheddable propellant modules on the tail shaft thereof. The weapon system avoids manual loading of the mortar with mortar grenades because an automatic loader is arranged in a weapon space separated from the crew space by a separating wall. The loader transports the mortar grenade from a magazine in the weapon space into the index position of the barrel of the mortar and axially inserts it into the mouth of the barrel, and an automatic shedding device is arranged in the weapon space to automatically remove unnecessary propellant modules from the mortar grenade after fixing target parameters and before insertion of the mortar grenade into the barrel.

The weapon system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the loading device comprises an operating part that comprises a shroud, wherein the shroud is disposed to push the mortar shell axially into the weapon barrel and the operating part programs a nose fuze of the mortar shell during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 5. The weapon system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: (c) a collecting container arranged at a side of the weapon area in order to collect the excess propellant charge modules stripped from the mortar shell by the stripping device. 6. The weapon system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the mortar shell further comprises a programmable nose fuze, and in order to fire the mortar shell provided with the programmable nose fuze, the loading device of the weapon system comprises a fuze programming device that programs the nose fuze of the mortar shell appropriately with a fire command during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 7. The weapon system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the loading device comprises an operating part that comprises a shroud, wherein the shroud is disposed to push the mortar shell axially into the weapon barrel and the operating part programs a nose fuze of the mortar shell during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 8. The weapon system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mortar shell further comprises a programmable nose fuze, and in order to fire the mortar shell provided with the programmable nose fuze, the loading device of the weapon system comprises a fuze programming device that programs the nose fuze of the mortar shell appropriately with a fire command during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 9. The weapon system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the loading device comprises an operating part that comprises a shroud, wherein the shroud is disposed to push the mortar shell axially into the weapon barrel and the operating part programs the nose fuze during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 10. The weapon system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the loading device comprises an operating part that comprises a shroud, wherein the shroud is disposed to push the mortar shell axially into the weapon barrel and the operating part programs a nose fuze of the mortar shell during a loading process of the mortar shell performed by the loading device. 11. The weapon system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the loading device and the stripping device are arranged in the weapon area, and wherein the loading device and the stripping device are controlled from a crew area. 12. The weapon system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the mortar is controlled by crew located in the crew area while there are no crew in the weapon area. 13. A weapon system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carrier vehicle comprises a separating wall provided between a crew area and the weapon area. 14. The weapon system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the separating wall between the crew area and the weapon area is made of armored steel. 15. The weapon system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the loading device and the stripping device are arranged in the weapon area, and wherein the loading device and the stripping device are controlled from the crew area. 16. The weapon system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the mortar is controlled by crew located in the crew area while there are no crew in the weapon area. 17. The weapon system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mortar is a vehicle-mounted mortar mounted to the carrier vehicle. 18. A weapon system mountable to a carrier vehicle, wherein the weapon system comprises a mortar, wherein the mortar is capable of loading with a mortar shell, wherein the mortar shell has a plurality of first propellant charge modules that are capable of stripping off at a side of a fin structure of the mortar shell, and the mortar is pivotable from an index position to a firing position that is appropriate for one or more predetermined target parameters, wherein the weapon system further comprises: (a) a weapon area that includes a controllable automatic loading device arranged to take the mortar shell from a munition magazine in the weapon area; and(b) a controllable automatic stripping device arranged to automatically push one or more second propellant charge modules of the plurality of first propellant charge modules off the fin structure of the mortar shell before the mortar shell is pushed into a weapon barrel of the mortar by the loading device, wherein the one or more second propellant charge modules are excess propellant charge modules that are not required after definition of the predetermined target parameters. 19.
