By GlobalDataAlthough it is an indirect fire support system, Patria NEMO Navy also provides direct fire capability, which makes it suitable for self-defence against other vessels.
The system can launch Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) fire missions with up to six grenades hitting the target at the same time.
The mortar system provides fire-on-the-move capability and protection from ballistic and nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) threats.
The turret design provides the flexibility to support integration into a variety of platforms, including the Patria 6×6 armoured vehicle.
The subcontract came after Swede Ship Marine received a contract last week from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) to supply eight sea-mobile artillery platforms.
Equipped with stabilising grenade launchers, the vessels will be operated by amphibious units in Stockholm and Gothenburg. They will provide artillery support from the sea.
The sea-mobile artillery platforms will enable the capability to quickly regroup to a different location and provide new fire support in a combat scenario, ensuring an edge to the forces on the battlefield.
The artillery platforms are expected to be delivered between 2027 and 2028.
