Press Release, Linköping, 12 September 2024: The cooperation between the US Army and Patria reached a major milestone at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference in Fort Moore, Georgia, on 10 September, 2024 when a crew of soldiers demonstrated various successful fire missions, using US mortar ammunition with the Patria NEMO 120mm Turreted Mortar System, integrated onto a US made Armoured Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) and Fire Direction System (FCD).
The US 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 US 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 US 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 US warfighters, increasing their survivability, lethality and manoeuvrability,“ says Janne Räkköläinen, Senior Vice President, Market Area World of Patria.
Patria NEMO is a remote-controlled 120mm 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 in Washington DC on 14-16 October, 2024.
