Mortars and Crew Served Weapons Consulting

Building a safe, functional, and sustainable crew-served weapons program involves far more than simply acquiring equipment.

Whether supporting mortars or other crew-served systems, organizations quickly discover that the real challenge lies in everything surrounding the gun itself:
range design,
safety procedures,
training structure,
communications,
crew organization,
operational workflow,
logistics,
and risk management.

The Ordnance Development Division provides consulting services for organizations seeking to establish, improve, or expand indirect fire and crew-served weapons capabilities in civilian, contractor, historical, training, and specialized operational environments.

Our consulting services are built around practical operational experience and real-world program development rather than purely academic or theoretical models. We understand the unique challenges organizations face when developing crew-served capabilities outside traditional military infrastructure, including limited range space, regulatory considerations, safety planning, public perception concerns, staffing limitations, and operational sustainability.

Consulting support may include:

• Mortar and crew-served weapons program development
• Range layout and impact area planning
• Safety procedures and operational risk management
• Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development
• Crew organization and operational workflow
• Training program structure and curriculum guidance
• Fire direction and communications procedures
• Live-fire event planning and support
• UXO and explosive hazard awareness integration
• Evaluation of existing procedures and operations
• Doctrine adaptation for civilian or non-traditional environments

ODD also provides guidance for organizations seeking to integrate modern digital tools, structured operational procedures, and scalable training concepts into their indirect fire programs while maintaining practical, field-oriented usability.

Unlike generic consulting firms, ODD approaches crew-served weapons from the perspective of actual operation and field use. Our focus is not simply on equipment acquisition, but on helping organizations build programs that are safe, organized, sustainable, and operationally functional over the long term.

Whether developing a new capability from the ground up or refining an existing program, ODD provides practical support tailored to the realities of operating crew-served systems outside conventional military environments.
