U.S. Army demonstrated the capabilities of Patria NEMO 120 mm Turreted Mortar System

The U.S. Army strives to provide Armoured and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams with rapid, precise indirect and direct fire capability where the operating crew is well protected, and their physical burden, impulse noise effects and blast overpressure are significantly reduced. Since 2020, Patria has conducted a turreted mortar feasibility study including Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) with the U.S. Army for Patria NEMO, the world’s foremost Turreted Mortar System.

”We are extremely pleased to witness the results of our successful cooperation already so far with the U.S. Army and our industry partners. Given the global interest in Patria NEMO’s unique capabilities, we are excited to continue the discussions with the US regarding the next steps and eventually getting Patria NEMO to the U.S. warfighters, increasing their survivability, lethality and manoeuvrability,“ says Janne Räkköläinen, Senior Vice President, Market Area World of Patria.

Patria NEMO is a remote-controlled 120 mm mortar system capable of both direct and indirect fire missions – also on the move. Patria NEMO can execute multiple rounds simultaneous impact (MRSI) fire missions with up to 6 rounds hitting the target at the same time. In addition to being highly protected, the system is light, compact and easily installed on light, tracked chassis, wheeled armoured vehicles or navy vessels.

Integrated on AMPV, Patria NEMO will be showcased at AUSA (hall DE, stand 6041) in Washington D.C. on 14-16 October, 2024.
