Game Changers of The Battlefield – AMOS & Patria Nemo

Patria’s Turreted Mortar Systems Experience, live fire exercise and seminar, was held on May 24th – 26th in the heart of Finnish Lapland. At the event the turreted mortar systems AMOS and Patria Nemo were seen in action performing in various operational scenarios.

Patria Nemo
A compact and modern mortar system

Patria Nemo is a turreted, remote-controlled 120 mm mortar system. It is an indirect fire support system, but due to its direct fire capability, it can also be used for self-defence. Patria Nemo can also fire Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) fire missions where upto 5 grenades are hitting the target simultaneously.
Turret and armoured chassis protect the crew against ballistic, mine and IED threats and battlefield contaminants within the protection level of the platform vehicle. The light and compact turret is easily installable on light, tracked chassis or wheeled armoured vehicles in the 6x6/8x8 class.

Advantages of the Patria Nemo
• Ballistic, mine, IED and NBC protection
• A lightweight structure, requiring little space within the platform and, therefore, adjustable for older chassis
• High rate of fire
• Rapid response
• Shoot and scoot
• Minimal crew (driver + 1 Nemo weapon officer + 2 loaders)
• Direct fire capability
• Direct lay capability
• Suitable for all standard 120 mm smoothbore mortar ammunition
• Large amount of onboard ammunition
• A chassis providing for high mobility
• Full 360° traverse
• Joint operations between Patria Nemo and Patria Nemo Navy units

AMOS
AMOS®,"Advanced MOrtar System", is a double barreled breech-loading 120 mm mortar turret designed to be mounted on wheeled or tracked APC chassis and on fast combat boats. It is able to operate autonomously with impressive firepower, including direct and indirect fire capability together with Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI).
Thanks to a turreted mortar system both the mortar crew and the vehicle driver are protected against ballistic-, mine-, IED- and NBC-threats.
AMOS® is a product of Patria Hägglunds Oy.

Shame Sweden abandoned this project it had with Finland, I'm glad Finland kept developing it!

That looks like a serious piece of kit, 6 or 12 rounds all landing at the same time is a game changer. I hope the British Army takes these up, I think they are awesome. The way it took off over that hump and seamlessly came back to ground, I imagine the suspension system must be outstanding for a vehicle of that size.

I think it's pretty cool that these guys can be used for direct fire too. Develop a decent HEAT round for these guys and they'll be a major threat to BMPs and BTRs.

Well, a few dozen of these, only AMOS, a dozen Archers to go with K9 Thunder and of course a few more M270 MLRS for Finland. And, obviously Excalibur rounds and GLSDB for the M270. In the fiture there mght be some precision rounds for the AMOS too... And drones. And SAMs.

Armored warfare is becoming an indirect fire business, this smells perfect

That Patria 8X8 with Nemo is one hell of a sexy beast

These Amv should have own drone system, also when they arrive, so on the roof they could send a drone to spionage the enemy position ...and give fire directions!

Insta Steel Eagle aka. "flying Claymore" drone is claimed to have same effect as 6 120 mm grenades. Insane. Works well with the Steel Lynx remote wireless detonated take-off canister with the same explosive.
