The Republic of Korea Army (RoKA) has begun deploying an upgraded version of its locally developed 81 mm mortar system, according to South Korea's Defense Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA).
Delivery to RoKA units of the upgraded system, which is now in series production, began in June, noted DAPA in a 29 July statement.

Referred to as the ‘81 mm Mortar-II', the weapon, development of which began in December 2014 and was completed around August 2019, is not only 20% lighter than its predecessor, thus enabling greater mobility, but also requires fewer personnel (four instead of five) to operate.
The advanced mortar system uses laser and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies to identify the location of the targets and calculate the mortar settings, thereby increasing the speed and accuracy with which rounds can be delivered on to target.
