Spain's EM&E Group announced in a press release on 24 April 2026 that it had updated its EMOC 120 mm mortar carrier system's accuracy and survivability. The company said EMOC can be integrated into a wide range of 4x4 high-mobility light vehicles without compromising their stability or payload.

An inertial navigation system (INS) has been integrated directly onto the EMOC mortar tube, allowing ballistic calculations from the exact point where a projectile is fired, which according to EM&E improves accuracy, especially in environments where satellite signals are degraded, jammed, or unavailable.

EMOC has an open architecture designed to be compatible with various fire control systems and software and can fire EM&E's smart mortar munitions with a circular error probable (CEP) of less than 10 m. According to EM&E, the mortar can be deployed and stowed in less than 20 seconds, allowing it to shoot and scoot to reduce exposure time to counter-battery fire.

The company said it developed EMOC by integrating its own mechanical, electronic, and software capabilities to provide industrial autonomy.
