The M1064 mortar carrier is an American tracked, self-propelled artillery vehicle, consisting of the M121 mortar-a version of the M120 mortar- mounted on an M113 chassis.

The design consists of the M298 Cannon, M191 Bipod, M9 Baseplate, and the Carrier Adaptation Kit. With the use of an auxiliary M9 Baseplate and extension feet for the M191 Bipod, the M121 can be dismounted from the vehicle and emplaced for ground-mounted operations.
