The M1064A3 mounts the 120mm M121 mortar. This is the US production model of the Soltam K6 mortar.
The M1064A3 has the same automotive improvements as the M113A3 armored personnel carrier.
For self-defense a 12.7mm M2HB heavy machine gun is fitted on the roof of the M1064A3.
Many M1064A3 were produced as an overhaul and deep modernization of the earlier M106A2 mortar carrier with 107mm M30 mortar.
