At the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD2024) exhibition in Millbrook, UK, on September 18, Finnish-based Patria and German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall showcased their latest joint innovation, the Boxer Armoured Mortar Variant.
According to a press release, this prototype integrates Patria’s state-of-the-art NEMO 120mm turreted mortar system onto the Boxer platform.
The new variant is designed to deliver increased firepower, mobility, and protection to modern armed forces. The vehicle features a high rate of fire, direct and indirect fire capabilities, and the ability to fire while on the move. The NEMO 120mm turreted mortar system can deliver up to 10 rounds per minute, with the ability to carry out Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) strikes, where up to five rounds hit the target at once. The system also offers a maximum range of 10 kilometers, allowing operators to engage targets at a distance while remaining in protected positions.
