Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

I saved this for good reason - perspective is always useful.

I think a lot of people forget that modern medicine is part of what allows most of us to be alive and live comfortably. I was born near sighted, so my option in life 200 years ago would have been; pick up a skill, become a tavern musician, or die.

As a random Canadian alive in 2025, I have better access to health services and lifesaving medicine than the emperors of Rome... Even better than Queen Victoria could have bought, as the ruler of the greatest empire the world has yet known.

A hot shower is a luxury no one beyond royalty had access too regularly until the 20th century. I don’t think some people understand that.
 
Something air-portable for our Light Battalions...can use both 81mm and 120mm mortars so can be configured as best suits a particular mission.

It still doesn't excite me. I like the Mrzr. Use a wheeled mortar trailer towed behind it and you've got room for twice the ammo and a quarter of the maintenance problem. Keep it simple. You can probably tear down and hook in a wheeled mortar faster than the hydraulics on this thing. I presume there's a second one of these vehicles for the rest of the detachment. Two folks is a bit thin even for something like this.
