Summary: Automation of the cross-level adjustment on an 81mm mortar bipod to reduce soldier workload, improve accuracy, and reduce aiming setup time. The system uses an accelerometer to measure inclination of the cross level, a stepper motor adjusts the knob to maintain level, and a microcontroller is used for control. The system is quickly removable to revert to manual control.
