Last week, Global Ordnance LLC and Polaris Government and Defense were invited to participate in a live-fire demonstration on Marine Corps Base Quantico in conjunction with the Marine Gunners Symposium. A group of Marine gunners witnessed the Scorpion Light mobile mortar system in action, demonstrating the shoot and scoot capabilities of the system. Mounted on the Polaris MRZR Alpha 6x6, the fully integrated platform provides mobility, lethality, and operator safety. The rapid-fire control system is designed to elevate operational efficiency, while the expanded payload of the MRZR Alpha 6x6 variant allows for 48 mortars to also be transported.
