Milanion NTGS and Global Ordnance Join Forces to Launch the Scorpion Mobile Mortar System in America
Milanion NTGS (UK and Spain) and Global Ordnance (Sarasota, FL) have recently forged a partnership for Global Military Products, a division within Global Ordnance, to spearhead sales and project oversight of the Scorpion Mobile Mortar System across the United States. This collaboration was formalized by Julio Estrella, CEO of Milanion NTGS, and Marc Morales, President of Global Ordnance at IDEX 2023, held at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi.
“The United States represents a crucial market for our operations, and we are excited to work alongside Global Ordnance to emphasize the necessity of military units being outfitted with enduring and battle-tested systems like the Scorpion mobile mortar system,” expressed Julio Estrella, CEO of Milanion NTGS.
The Scorpion, referred to as Alakran in markets beyond the USA, stands as a pioneering, fully digital, automated 120mm/81mm mortar system engineered explicitly for shoot & scoot combat missions.
One of its key attributes is its capacity to accurately discharge eight rounds in under two minutes from a stationary position, swiftly avoiding enemy counter-battery fire. Additionally, the Scorpion appeals significantly to US Department of Defense and international clientele due to its platform agnosticism. It can be mounted on nearly any 4×4 vehicle with a minimum 2-ton payload, whether wheeled or tracked, ranging from Light Trucks to Armored Personnel Carriers to JLTVs. Moreover, their latest model, the new “Scorpion Light” installed on a Polaris MRZR, was unveiled at the IDEX 2023 show last month. This iteration is tailored for Special Operations Forces (SOF) or Airborne missions, further demonstrating the exceptional adaptability of the Scorpion Mobile Mortar System.
Marc Morales, President of Global Ordnance, stated, “Our partnership will harness the capabilities of both entities to showcase the distinctive and significant benefits of the Scorpion system as a flexible and responsive solution that can adjust to evolving mission demands and operational hurdles, ensuring high mobility and rapid-fire assistance for troops in the field.”
