The M402 Multipe-Launch Mortar is a 70kg man-portable artillery weapon used by Marines of the USCMC. The mortar uses a 80mm twin-tube design, automatically fed from a ten-round rotary magazine. The weapon can be aimed and fired by a remote command handset, either singly or in volleys. All ten rounds can be fired in under eight seconds.^[1]

As part of their organic support weapons, the standard Marine rifle platoon is equipped with one M402 mortar.^[2] Though it can be carried and fired in the field, the M402 is also commonly carried by the M572 Armored Mortar Carrier.^[1]
