Latest Patria Technology Showcased in Japan

Patria’s appearance at DSEI Japan on 18-20th November at Makuhari Messe allowed them to present the Patria AMV and 6x6 armoured wheeled vehicles, alongside the Patria Nemo mortar system, helicopter MRO services and several special products related to intelligence, surveillance and command-and-control systems.

The Patria AMV product family combines high payload capacity with next generation technological features, enabling simultaneous integration of a heavy weapon systems with high protection level but without compromising the vehicle’s mobility. Patria is an undisputed market leader in modern armoured wheeled 8x8 vehicles for seven customer nations.

The Patria AMV 8x8 provides optimal component modularity for wide model adaptability without changing the basic vehicle systems. It is available in three different models:

• A basic model platforming the following variants: armoured personnel carrier (APC); infantry fighting vehicle (IFV); command vehicle; ambulance; reconnaissance vehicle; anti-tank guided missile vehicle (ATGM); armoured repair and recovery vehicle (ARRV); and finally, the 120 mm Patria Nemo mortar system.

• The High Roof Model provides extra space at the vehicle rear (34cm higher than the basic model) - ideal if the vehicle is used as a command, C4I, ambulance or workshop vehicle.

• A Heavy Weapon Platform optimised to carry large-calibre weapon systems, like the 120 mm AMOS mortar system or 105/120 mm cannon (MGS).

The Patria AMVXP builds on the success of Patria AMV having been awarded one-year field testing in Japan after competitive bidding before Japan’s Ministry of Defence makes the final selection. Additionally available as a 40cm stretched model, this AMV sets a new standard for future 8x8 wheeled vehicles, with spacious interior and high payload-carrying capability providing a platform for future customer variants in the simultaneous integration of weapon systems, protection and crew equipment.

The unrivalled mobility of the Patria AMVXP is based on an upgraded powerline providing 450 kW engine power alongside an Integrated Terrain Control System (ITCS). It thus matches the future requirements for C4I, Battlefield Management and Situational Awareness Systems.

Together with the vehicle’s digital backbone, a Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) ensures 21st century soldiers have the best platform to meet their needs in every current and future theatre of operation. Patria AMVXP will consolidate Patria’s leadership in the armoured wheeled vehicle product range.

The Patria 6X6 is a multipurpose transport vehicle with a chassis structure based on the same components as the AMV, but with one less axle. It is the successor to the Pasi Armoured Personnel Carrier and complements the legendary Patria AMV 8X8 fleets.

Driven by all three axles but steered optionally from the front two or from all three, optional equipage can be added to bring the 6X6 closer to the AMV. Various ballistic and mine protection levels, weapon systems, self-protection systems and other interior equipment are available.

Patria Nemo is a turreted, remote-controlled 120 mm mortar system acting both as an indirect fire support system and for self-defence due to its direct fire capability. It can operate Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) fire missions where up to 5 grenades are hitting the target simultaneously. The light and compact turret is easily installed on light, tracked chassis or wheeled armoured vehicles in the 6x6/8x8 class.

Helicopter MRO services are provided internationally by Patria to military, governmental and commercial customers, with the company holding service centre authorisations in Sweden and Norway for all major helicopter manufacturers.

The offerings include maintenance, modifications, repairs, spare part supply, technical support and CAMO services and business, while Patria has also worked with the major Japanese helicopter operators Akagi helicopters Ltd since 2005 and Aero Asahi since 2016.

CANDL is a compact data link for air-to-air and air-to-ground applications boasting high reliability, low probability of detection and interception, dynamic networking with several members and long communication ranges. CANDL is a perfect data link for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUMT) operations, Intra-Flight Data Links (IFDL) and Live Virtual Constructive training (LVC) systems.

ARIS is a remote operable Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) system intended to intercept, identify, record and analyse radar signals. ARIS enables mastery of strategic ELINT in typically complex signal environments to obtain excellent spectrum awareness and provide fast, accurate updates to ELINT databases.

ARIS-E is a new Electronic Support Measures (ESM) product. Building on ARIS as a comprehensive tool for strategic and tactical ELINT/ESM, it provides automatic identification, real-time geolocation and radar tracking on the battlefield.

The MUSCL passive radar system is a covert, easily deployable air surveillance system. Instead of an active radar transmitting signals to track airborne targets, MUSCL utilises existing signals from radio and TV broadcast networks for target detection and tracking. This approach makes MUSCL invisible to ELINT and ESM systems, while providing increased detection capability for low-flying and low RCS targets.

TADS is a Tactical Debriefing System providing instant debriefing of military missions and training exercises from single sortie to large joint forces campaigns, involving all branches and LVC (live, virtual, constructive training) scenarios. TADS visualises the order of battle, weapon and sensor usage in detail, while its electronic warfare activities provide practical and precise feedback to improve the performance of pilots and operators.
