Patria AMV and Patria Nemo – at the core of modern defence

Patria AMV, the market leader among 8x8 armoured wheeled vehicles, is Patria’s key export product. Patria AMV is currently contracted by seven customer countries, among others by the Finnish, Polish and Swedish Defence Forces, and it has been fielded in ISAF operations since the year 2007. AMV products are under continuous development and are fitted with the latest technology. Patria AMV’s structural solutions enable high payload capacity, high level of protection and integration of heavy weapon systems.

Patria also produces advanced mortar systems. The newest product of Patria’s mortar systems is Patria Nemo, which is a 120 mm remote controlled mortar turret, providing indirect and direct fire as well as MRSI (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) and direct lay capabilities.

As a modern and compact system, Patria Nemo can easily be mounted onto various armoured vehicles, both wheeled (6x6, 8x8) as well as tracked ones. Due to its low weight, Patria Nemo is also adaptable to lightweight, high-speed vessels and can be effectively used for harbour patrolling and protection, coastal guarding and infantry landing operations.

Patria Nemo can also be equipped with the Fire Control System - Command Post (FCS-CP) solution, which is designed to support and coordinate indirect fire for one or several Patria Nemo Mortar Units enabling the Units to be operated as a group.

In 2014 Patria introduced Patria Nemo gunner-commander training simulator which provides a realistic, virtual training environment for all kinds of fire missions that can be performed with Patria Nemo mortar system.

Patria AMV and Nemo mortar system, have both been selected by the UAE Armed Forces. For Patria, The Arabian Peninsula is an important focus area in the future.
