Military Institute of Armament Technology Military Institute of Armament Technology ( ; WITU ) is a Polish scientific institution responsible for the research and development of new technologies for use by the military . It is based in Zielonka at the outskirts of Warsaw . Subordinate to the Ministry of National Defence , the institute is considered one of " central institutions " , that is one of state - owned institutions essential to the functioning of the state . The institute was founded 25 March 1926 as the Institute for Artillery Research ( ) .

In 1935 the institute was renamed to Institute of Armament Technology ( ; ITU ) . As one of the principal centres for research and development of weapons , the ITU was responsible for a number of successful designs introduced in the Polish Army of the epoch . Among them were the Wz . 35 anti - tank rifle , the Szabla wz . 34 sabre and the Kbsp wz . 1938M semi - automatic rifle .

Type 98 320 mm mortar The Type 98 320 mm mortar ( Kyūhachi - shiki - kyūhō = Type 98 mortar ) , known by the nickname " Ghost rockets " , was an artillery weapon used by the Japan ese military during World War II , especially during the Battle of Iwo Jima . Specifications . The mortar consists of a steel tube closed at one end by a steel baseplate , which rests on a wooden platform . The , , shells fit around and on top of the tube , instead of being dropped inside , making this a spigot mortar . The range of each shot was adjusted by adding different size powder charges at the base of the round . The barrels could only handle five or six shots apiece before becoming damaged and unusable . When used in large groups , as was often done , it produced a fearsome effect known as " the screaming Jesus " to U . S . Marines . To absorb the massive recoil caused by firing their projectiles , the mortar tubes were almost always placed up against a mound of dirt . Use . During World War II , the Japanese Imperial Army deployed somewhere between 12 and 24 320 mm mortars on Iwo Jima , as well as 24 on Bataan . The weapon was also used on Okinawa . Iwo Jima . Japanese officers believed the 320 mm spigot mortar ' s most effective method of employment was as a psychological weapon , intended to scare American soldiers more than inflict casualties . The shells left craters deep and wide , but caused relatively few casualties due to minimal fragmentation . The mortars were mainly operated by the 20th Independent Mortar Battalion . During the Iwo Jima campaign , many of the 12 to 24 launchers were placed inside the mouths of caves to protect them from American artillery bombardment , requiring the gun crews to live in the caves that housed their guns , like the infantry . Due to the relative difficulty involved in moving such a massive weapon system , their locations usually remained fixed during battles . During the campaign , the object of the gun crews seemed to be mainly to inflict psychological damage on the American troops instead of killing them .
