U.S. Army is Testing BAE's New Deadliest Mobile Mortar System

The U.S. Army has received a prototype of a mobile mortar system on the AMPV platform from BAE Systems.The prototype vehicle features the newly developed External Mission Equipment Package (ExMEP), enabling integration of various turrets, alongside the state-of-the-art Patria NEMO remote-controlled 120mm turreted mortar system.

    The 120mm or 4.2" mortar are very reliable simple easy to fire mortar. It can be dismounted and fired on the ground. These semi-automatic mortars are accurate. The Haglunds system mounted in the CV90 has 2 mortar tubes my guess is to achieve a higher rate of fire. The advantage of manually fired mortars over semi-automatic mortars is the rate of fire. I would rater have a Fire-for-effect mission out in 30-60 seconds rather than wait on the semi-automatic mortar.

    This is a nice vehicle mounted system. Nice to see our military is watching the European use of the NEMO. With this system, you get a great mortar with a direct fire capability. I do wonder if 120mm vs 81mm mortar is no longer a use discussion. Can a 81mm meet or come close to weight on target with the 81mm compared the the 120mm? That is important if you can't interject the larger vehicle into the battle area. If it comes down to the M1 Grunt carrying mortar rounds, the 60mm was easier to issue out than a 81mm versus a heavier 120mm during light equipped unit operations.

    Patria: When if is no option. Negotiations for the Nemo system between Patria and the U.S. Army began in 2014. You can find more information on Patria's website. Patria and BAE Systems companies are partners that have collaborated on various defense projects. For example, they jointly offered the AMV35 armored reconnaissance vehicle to the Australian Army for the Land 400 Phase 2 program. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqSYq6OcocS_pKg.html

    @@RJM1011 all tough NEMO uses only one barel unlike AMOS that has two of them. Simce it was designed in away that it can lounch around 18 grenades to the air with differend trajector so they would land to the target area simultaniosly at same time since the system would count the trajector to each individual grenades shooting first one in the highest trajector and each grenades is little lower than the first shot would be so those grenades would land on the target area all at once. The system was evolved after Finland joined to Ottawa agreament and banned the use of infantry land mines to replace them. NEMO is basically same system useing only one barel of 120mm grenade instead of two like AMOS. But since all those companies are more or less same company since they all share the same systems. And since Finland was not member of NATO untill 4.4.2023 it could not sell these systems to NATO members before that by it self there need to be company that can to get them in to the NATO countries market.

    These look very promising! Also, given the limitation of making millions of 155mm artillery shells, one might be able to more rapidly and cheaply scale up the manufacture of 120mm mortar rounds to help fill any gaps that might come from running low on 155mm rounds in all all out conflict such as the war in Ukraine. That said, these might need some anti UAV provisions as well.

  • @Scaleyback317

    In a recent statement and I suspect as a result of listening to Ukrainian advice the British Army is now moving to a 120mm replacement for the current 81mm. Previous thinking has been the 105mm light gun gives everything the 120mm mortar can plus more besides. I believe the 81mm mortars are to be given to the Royal Marines and Air assault units (paras) as with them weight is all. The remainder of the army will have both the 120mm and 105 light gun to support them. I further suspect BAE being a British entity it will with great interest British procuremment view the US trials as well as the Swedish Mjolner turret system. I think we can expect to see a Rheinmetall designed box feature these two systems for trial purposes onto the excellent Boxer chassis and maybe what should be the eventual excellent (Given the ammount of money thrown at the disaster to make it viable) Ajax chassis. Interesting to watch that one. I also reckon we might be seeing a throwback to the old ABBOT 105mm SPH being considered also again for the Boxer and/or Ajax. Also interesting to watch for any sign of that one. Standardization of NATO equipt and munitions just makes sense no matter who's making it. Doubt the US would agree on that one however.
