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

other option is wheeled platform from Patria, which has been in concideration by marines for few years

When you don't want go outside to get sht done😂🇫🇮✌️

Needs more fpv drone protection

I love the twin bareled Nemo. Wery sad to se our Swedish army not adopting it. Its so cool.

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.

Nemo name came from finnish general Vilho Nenonen he was arty general who invented firecontrol system witch allow multiple mortar fire to same position.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpdIAcqaYtE

As an old 11C, I approve of this message.

I'm fairly certain if I took part in this battle I would have died without doing anything productive. The bravery of these men gives me chills

That is not a BEA system. Its made by Patria in Finland.

Can it fire bonus rounds ?

Why waste so much money develop a new under carrier that is not as good as the CV90 hull.? US Army are kind of old thinking, it have to be made in US, otherwise US Army can't use it.! Why can't BAE start to produce CV 90 hull in USA and use that as a platform.?

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.

Pity the USA does not use the CV90 which this mortar is already mounted on.

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.

Wilho Petter Nenonen . Centralized artillery support . Aren't any bells ringing, just whether the number of viewers is more important

Bae systems? more like Finnish Patria's mortar system, smh.

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.

Says BAE but it is Patria? BAE vehicle with Patria turret? Seem better if Sweden had gone with NEMO or AMOS rather than the manual one on CV90. Kinda lame?

Sir, maybe soon you must also put anti missile or drone capability, that is more able to counter modern warfare as we see on todays war in Ukraine or in Israel, more power to you.
