Simulated telescopic mortar bomb

A training round for performing indirect fire missions, the training round comprising:

• a top end oriented towards a direction of projectile motion of the training round;
• a bottom end situated opposite to the top end, wherein the top end and the bottom end are separated by a first distance;
• a telescopic assembly between the top end and the bottom end to induce a telescopic movement between the top end and the bottom end, such that the top end and the bottom end are separated by a second distance, wherein a weight of the top end induces the telescopic movement between the top end and the bottom end;
• and
• a round sensor attached to the training round, the round sensor establishing communicative coupling with a simulation computer during an execution of indirect fire missions.

A training round for performing indirect fire missions, the training round comprising:

• a projectile shell having:
• a conical top oriented towards a direction of projectile motion of the training round;
• and
• an internal chamber having an orifice at a base of the projectile shell;
• a stabilizing rod connected to the base of the projectile shell, wherein the projectile shell and the stabilizing rod are separated by a first distance;
• a hydraulic system between projectile shell and the stabilizing rod to adjust a length of the training round, the hydraulic system having:
• a first tube fixedly connected to the projectile shell,
• a second tube fixedly connected to stabilizing rod and movably connected to the projectile shell, and
• a conduit for a transmission of a fluid between the first tube and the second tube, wherein:
• a telescopic movement is induced between the first tube and the second tube when the second tube moves inside the first tube, and
• the projectile shell and the stabilizing rod are separated by a second distance upon induction of the telescopic movement;
• and
• a round sensor attached to the training round, the round sensor establishing communicative coupling with a simulation computer during an execution of the indirect fire missions.
