The Cardom (English: Hatchet, stands for Computerized Autonomous Recoil Rapid Deployed Outrange Mortar)[1] is an Israeli 81 mm/120 mm recoil mortar system (RMS), manufactured by Soltam Systems.

It is used by the United States Army, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), NATO countries, and others.

The Cardom is an autonomous, computerized system for mounting on light and medium armored carriers.

Its modern target acquisition devices, together with a specially designed recoiling mortar system, attenuate the firing loads and enables mounting the systems on wheeled and tracked armoured fighting vehicles, or even soft-skinned vehicles such as trucks.

Using electrical servo motors, the mortar barrel is then set at the exact traverse and elevation angles to fire upon the target.
