Traditional airburst mortar rounds fitted with a proximity fuze disperse fragments in nearly every direction. This decreases the mortar’s lethality as over 50 percent of the fragments are scattered upwards. THOR is here to change the landscape of mortar munitions with a unique design combining different shapes, materials and fragmentation sizes to attain the desired effect on target. Being able to choose the style of fragmentation not only delivers tailored lethality, but also control of fragment velocity.
Building on more than thirty years of mortar innovation, Saab’s thinking edge continues to drive solutions that maximise mortar round efficiency.
At the core of this offering is MAPAM® (Mortar Anti-Personnel Anti-Material), the most efficient fragmentation technology on the market. Today this cutting-edge technology has been taken to the next level with the introduction of the all-new THOR 120 mm mortar round.

Saab’s MAPAM® mortar round revolutionised the way infantry units approached mortar-based combat. Now it’s time to push the boundaries of mortar technology even further with the THOR 120 mm.
MAPAM® began the journey by enabling users to dictate the lethal radius of fragmentation. THOR now uses Saab’s proprietary ODIN technology to take the next step forward, increasing lethality up to 100 percent.

THOR > OPERATIONALLY OPTIMISED
OPERATIONALLY OPTIMISED
PERFORMANCE
• Lethality approx. 200 percent of a standard 120 mm round
• Adaptable design due to the flexibility of using a modular approach
• Optional enhanced blast effect
• Lower lifecycle costs and logistical footprint versus a standard 120 mm round
• Safe to handle with Insensitive Munitions (IM)
• Range approximately 8,000 m
PRECISION
• Spheres can be optimised for range and lethality
• Controlled safety zones to protect own troops, as well as to avoid collateral damage
• Designed to concentrate the fragments towards the ground for 15-20 percent less fragmentation loss – the result being twice the effect in the target area
• Higher angle target approach in the final part of the trajectory to focus fragments towards the ground

MODULARITY
• Cylindrical central body design to enhance the lethality effect
• Chamber configuration can be modified depending on the set target
• Adaptable fragment shapes and quantities
• Centre of gravity can be adapted and the ballistic performance remains similar

THOR is in a league of its own when compared to a standard mortar round.
THOR > EFFICIENT LETHALITY
EFFICIENT LETHALITY
With almost twice the target area effect compared to a conventional 120 mm mortar round, THOR also delivers fragment loss reduction of up to 15-20 percent. This doubles the effectiveness of the mortar, making THOR a viable short range alternative to heavy artillery. This gives your forces a much higher chance of neutralising and even destroying targets that would normally require heavier support. Without the increased risk of collateral damage that comes with the use of artillery.
