NEMO (from "NEw MOrtar") is a single barrelled 120 mm remote-controlled mortar turret currently being developed by Patria Land Oy in Finland. It is a lighter version of the AMOS mortar system, which has been in use within the Finnish Defence Forces since 2013.[1] The NEMO can be fitted to most APCs and also to smaller landing craft, such as the Finnish Jurmo-class landing craft or the Swedish CB90-class fast assault craft.
The NEMO was developed as a private venture by the Patria Weapons Systems Oy. It is a lighter version of the AMOS mortar system with a single barrel, integrated onto a Patria AMV 8x8 chassis. Finish army ordered 24 of these vehicles. First artillery systems were delivered in 2006. Slovenian Army became the first export customer of the NEMO system. First deliveries were expected in 2008. The NEMO mortar system was also trialed in the United States. In 2019 the US Army trialed the Finnish NEMO mortar system, based on the Patria AMV 8x8 chassis. In 2020 the US Marines trialed this mortar system installed on their LAV armored chassis with 8x8 configuration. During the same year the US Army reportedly tested the NEMO on their Stryker armored vehicle chassis.
The NEMO is an unmanned mortar turret, which can be fitted to most APCs, or small naval vessels. The 120 mm mortar barrel used in NEMO is basically identical to that installed in the twin AMOS. This vehicle provides direct and indirect fire support. Firing range is about 10 km depending on the projectile and charge combination. The NEMO fires HE-FRAG, smoke, illumination and cargo rounds. It is also compatible with all standard 120 mm mines. Patria currently develops new precision guided mortar munitions. Maximum rate of fire is 10 rounds per minute. Patria claims that a burst rate of three rounds in 12 seconds can be achieved. The system is also capable of six-round simultaneous impact firing. Sustained rate of fire is 7 rounds per minute.
The NEMO is ready to fire in less than 30 seconds and can leave firing position in less than 10 seconds. Brief redeployment time allows to avoid counter-battery fire and allows to use shoot and scoot tactics. Fire control system of the NEMO offers high fire accuracy. A typical crew of NEMO consists of commander, gunner and two loaders.
The Patria AMV offers high degree of protection. Basic armor without add-on armor modules provides all-round protection against 7.62 mm armor-piercing bullets and artillery shell splinters. Vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.
Vehicle is powered by the Scania DI 12 diesel engine, developing 490 or 540 hp, depending on the variant. Vehicle is fitted with a central tire inflation system. It is speculated that the NEMO is not amphibious.

I remember the US military was playing around with a very similar system about 20 years ago. I think the issue is that it just doesn't fall into the US doctrine at the moment since the US operates on Air Dominance/supremacy the idea is that if it isn't being done by a 155mm howitzer or small drone its being done by a large drone or a multirole fighter jet. now I wouldn't mind seeing the US update the mortar carrier with a similar system but I also think Raytheon or General Dynamics land systems could put out a domestic product that is similar or better with a very short development cycle and probably slap it on top of a Stryker.

The NATO Nona. Actually, what impressed me the most in the video wasn't the mortar system but the little drone on the naval variant of the NEMO. I know modern militaries use drones like those for reconnaissance, but are they capable of feeding coordinates to indirect fire systems? That's real neat.

@hullutsuhna 5 ай бұрын

with a combination of GPS and inertial sensors & decent optical sensors a drone can not only put itself on a map but also calculate the coordinates for a target it has detected, even if the coordinates are slightly off, after the second salvo at latest the observed hits will have provided the NEMO with the data it needs to make the corrections. Patria started developing AMOS/NEMO in the 90s & as the system is designed to work with target data from human FOs as well the human error has been factored in from the beginning, after over 20 years of close cooperation with the Finnish Defence Forces the system should be more than capable of making any necessary corrections on the fly.

The really interesting thing about the containerised NEMO is the possibility of installing it on the weather deck of otherwise unarmed ships, fleet auxiliary and the like. (I suppose in theory it would be possible to temporarily fit civilian ships with containerised NEMO and CIWS to give them a quick-fix self-defence capability for a virtual convoy in situations like the current Red Sea crisis, but that gets into really *expensive* legal waters…)

@steveaustin2686 5 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. A container with NEMO on a cargo ship. Direct fire when they are far enough out would be bad for the pirates and indirect fire air bursts would likely convince them to move on even with misses. Most amphibious ships don't really have weapons, so this could be used on them as well. They have used HIMARS trucks on ships too.

@dominuslogik484 5 ай бұрын

Putting weapons on container ships is a pretty bad idea generally because the moment you do it you just broke the distinction between civilian and military targets so in a conflict indiscriminate targeting of civilian craft is completely justified. its not WW2 anymore where merchant ships were basically considered military assets of their respective countries and could be shot on sight.

@steveaustin2686 5 ай бұрын

@@dominuslogik484 The pirates don't care about the rules of war and WANT to attack civilian ships. So putting a container with a NEMO on a civilian ship in waters where pirates attack ships, would help them fend off pirates. For civilian ships carrying military supplies to a war zone, they are a valid military target already. So arming them might help from small boat attacks.

@@dominuslogik484 Like I said, pirates are attacking civilian ships anyway. The problem with arming civilian ships, even with small arms, is that some ports might not allow them, because they are armed. Something that will require the country of the ship flying their flag and/or the company running the ship to work out with any ports or sovereign waters that the ship will pass through. If a ship is carrying military supplies it is a target already, so ALL ships are already targets because they might be carrying military supplies. Not something you would put on all civilian ships during a war, but something you might put on a ship carrying military supplies. And if you are at war with somebody, they are likely to attack your flagged shipping anyway, armed or not.

BTW, in the future one could imagine the shipping container version of this being fitted on off shore wind and solar farms such as by Taiwan to help defend against an amphibious invasion by China. Since these are getting ever more huge (e.g. Google How Offshore Wind is Revolutionizing Energy Production) the shipping containers could be beefed up with additional armor plus augmented with other weapons such as Anduril's Road Runner Anti Aircraft missiles and even laser weapons and sensors (including underwater sensors) to take out UAVs, Boats, and detect and target subs and such. It seems Taiwan is planning to invest heavily in off shore wind farms and just installed their third wind farm (e.g. Google kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n96kmbGcprHbk6c.html) One advantage of mounting these in windfarms is that one can have a ready source of electrical power. Plus these are massive and one could easily bolt on attachments such as a beefed up shipping container. One can even put up dummy ones as well as decoys. And just having a small crew makes this even more feasible in that they could travel by small boat out to a sight or even add a hello landing pas to the windfarm, which might be useful for other purposes as well such as for maintenance e crews to use. These could also be used to recharge UAVs and even autonomous subs like Anduril's Ghost Shark where a wind farm can act as a distributed unsinkable ship, at least hard to sink. For a surface ship might have a hard time surviving in the Taiwan straights but a distributed network of unsinkable ships might have a better chance of surviving.

I hate to say it as a former FO, but having fire that is dedicated to me is more valuable than something shared by the entire brigade. I think the immediacy of fire from the mortars would be my goto. I would certainty prefer the rate of fire from the Patria versus the 120mm mortars on the back of m113s and the Paladins that I had in the late 80s, early 90s. I would be interested in mean time to failure on these automated systems though. Edit, ok at 4.5 million, that Archer is looking real attractive.

New AMOS-vehicles have not been in production for quite some time. AMOS was a project between Patria and a swedish company that no longer exists. That’s why the NEMO was created and it has been fine tuned to be almost as effective as the AMOS counterpart. Modularity is key when talking about almost any Patria vehicle or system. NEMO can be integrated to different vehicles easily and can still operate extremely effectively.

Hi Matsimus, Great overview of the Patria NEMO Mortar system, and what a capability to have for fast indirect fire support. I feel that the Mortar has practically, if not already, reached the pinnacle of design in terms of Lethality, accuracy, rate of fire and crew survivability. Not only that, it boasts the flexibility of modularity between wheeled and Tracked platforms with complete Battle Space Connectivity. The NEMO Mortar Module that is being proposed for Boxer should hopefully become a formidable capability in the not too distant future. Whilst a few well respected UK Defence Analysts have, for a while now, been suggesting that the British Army should look seriously at a Boxer NEMO Module as future close Medium Weight Fire Support addition to its Current Army Future Transformation Strategy. We can only hope their advise is acted upon, Cheers.👍

The more missions a small formation can solve by themself without having to call in for fire support, the more rapidly it can deal with enemies it meets. Mortars is extra nice to have along as they provide a lot more firepower for the size and cost of ammo then other types of artillery saving on the logistics end. There are also anti-tank rounds for mortars making them also able to fill a similar role as anti-tank missiles, but cheaper.

While the NEMO system can be integrated with IFVs like the CV90 (which I think would be an improvement over the Mjölner given its ability to suppress the elevation to -3 degrees and so able to engage targets with direct fire), I think that integration of the NEMO (or maybe even the AMOS) into the M10 Booker light "not a tank" might yield the ideal heavy mortar carrier. The much heavier armor of the M10 would greatly increase the survivability of this type of shorter range system that has to be relatively close to the line of contact and thus much more likely to run into a newer generation IFV with larger 40mm gun or a soldier with a RPG that the lighter armor of a APC/IFV hull wouldn't provide sufficient protection. And while it couldn't go toe-to-toe with a MBT if it accidentally found itself within range and LOS of one, a NEMO/M10 system wouldn't be entirely helpless since it could fire a HEAT round on a direct trajectory that could at least penetrate the side and rear armor. In fact while moving between firing locations, it would probably be smart to keep an unguided HEAT round in the gun for just this situation.

Accuracy, mobility, safety, comfort and fireing system that can link to multiple nemos and drones at the same time… Just the ability to come into fireing range with target coordinates preset, shoot a fast burst that all hit the target at the same time and the run away is a crazy ability. So in a short comparison: Cons of normal mortar system: 1) very skill oriented and multiple soldiers needed to operate the mortar so one kamikaze drone or shrapnel can wound 3-4 soldiers at once even if not a direct hit. 2) Just aiming takes much longer time and on a soft ground might need re-aiming after every shot. 3) verifying if you hit what you wanted takes a long time and re-adjusting is just as slow. 4) can’t shoot on the move. 5) no cover from enemy counter barrage. Cons of NEMO: 1) Price

Originally, I am a forestry engineer. Have seen many military in the forests. It was always a surprise for soldiers, our equipment did not get stuck. I mean, Hagglund did build the BVS for a reason. That would actually be an nice platform for the Nemo... Thanks!
