They are already are looking at a system. In 2004 U.S. Army's Picatinny Arsenal developed the HUMVEE Scorpion

The mortar itself can fire on single shots or on automatic using 4 round clips. Range for direct fire is 1,000m and indirect fire is 4,000m.

The US Army is also working on a 120mm system using Elbit Systems SPEAR - Autonomous Recoil Mortar System (RMS)120mm Mortar System
