The NEMO Patria AMV is a 120mm 8x8 self-propelled mortar carrier developed, designed and manufactured by the Finnish Defense Company Patria. The development of this new mortar system began in 2005 as a private venture. The NEMO system was showed for the first time to the public in 2006, integrated on a 8x8 armoured vehicle personnel carrier AMV. By late 2007 development of NEMO was complete and a first production example will be used for extensive verification and qualification trials scheduled to take place in Finland in mid-2008. 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 up to 5 grenades are hitting the target simultaneously. In December 2006, the Slovenian Ministry of Defence has signed agreements with Rotis and Patria covering 135 Patria AMV 8x8 vehicles as well as 24 Patria Nemo 120 mm single-barrel mortars to the Slovenian Army. It was the first foreign customer for this vehicle. In September 2010, the NEMO 120mm mortar turret was also selected by Saudi Arabia to be mounted on the LAV II vehicles delivered by General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada as an FMS project by the US Government. |
