Patria and Rheinmetall Reveal New Boxer Armored Vehicle with Integrated NEMO Mortar System

The Finnish-German Collaboration Strikes Again

Patria, the Finnish defense corporation, has partnered with Germany's defense behemoth Rheinmetall, to reveal the updated version of their highly esteemed Boxer armored vehicle. The latest version features an integrated mortar system, a boost to the vehicle's already powerful capabilities. The prototype, as detailed in a press statement, comes fitted with Patria’s 120mm NEMO turreted mortar system conveniently mounted on the Boxer vehicle platform.

The Power of NEMO

This new model of the Boxer vehicle is intended to enhance the battlefield abilities of contemporary military forces by offering powerful fire support, mobility, and top-notch protection. The vehicle boasts an intense rate of fire, allowing for direct and indirect fire, including the ability to fire while in motion. The NEMO system has the firepower to discharge up to 10 rounds every minute and supports Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) strikes. With this technology, several rounds can hit the target simultaneously. The far-reaching maximum firing range of up to 10 kilometers facilitates distant target engagement while the combat team stays safe and secure inside the vehicle.

Partnership for Progress

At the DVD2024 exhibition, Rebecca Richards, Deputy CEO of Rheinmetall Vehicle Systems International, declared their partnership with Patria as a shared commitment to developing cutting-edge military technology and assuring the British Army's equipment was of the highest caliber. Similarly, Patria’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Hugo Vanbockryck, expressed pride in their collaboration with Rheinmetall and excitement about offering this innovative solution to their clientele. This novel vehicle is predicted to feasibly augment fire support for the British Army, delivering a mobile and secure platform for combat operations.
