NEMO (from "NEw MOrtar") is a single barrelled 120 mm remotecontrolled mortar turret currently being developed by Patria Land Oy in Finland. It is a lighter version of the AMOS mortar system, which has been in use within the Finnish Defence Forces since 2013.[1] The NEMO can be fitted to most APCs and also to smaller landing craft, such as the Finnish Jurmoclass landing craft or the Swedish CB90class fast assault craft.

The NEMO was developed as a private venture by the Patria Weapons Systems Oy. It is a lighter version of the AMOS mortar system with a single barrel, integrated onto a Patria AMV 8x8 chassis. Finish army ordered 24 of these vehicles. First artillery systems were delivered in 2006. Slovenian Army became the first export customer of the NEMO system. First deliveries were expected in 2008. The NEMO mortar system was also trialed in the United States. In 2019 the US Army trialed the Finnish NEMO mortar system, based on the Patria AMV 8x8 chassis. In 2020 the US Marines trialed this mortar system installed on their LAV armored chassis with 8x8 configuration. During the same year the US Army reportedly tested the NEMO on their Stryker armored vehicle chassis.

The NEMO is an unmanned mortar turret, which can be fitted to most APCs, or small naval vessels. The 120 mm mortar barrel used in NEMO is basically identical to that installed in the twin AMOS. This vehicle provides direct and indirect fire support. Firing range is about 10 km depending on the projectile and charge combination. The NEMO fires HEFRAG, smoke, illumination and cargo rounds. It is also compatible with all standard 120 mm mines. Patria currently develops new precision guided mortar munitions. Maximum rate of fire is 10 rounds per minute. Patria claims that a burst rate of three rounds in 12 seconds can be achieved. The system is also capable of sixround simultaneous impact firing. Sustained rate of fire is 7 rounds per minute.

The NEMO is ready to fire in less than 30 seconds and can leave firing position in less than 10 seconds. Brief redeployment time allows to avoid counterbattery fire and allows to use shoot and scoot tactics. Fire control system of the NEMO offers high fire accuracy. A typical crew of NEMO consists of commander, gunner and two loaders.
The Patria AMV offers high degree of protection. Basic armor without addon armor modules provides allround protection against 7.62 mm armorpiercing bullets and artillery shell splinters. Vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.
Vehicle is powered by the Scania DI 12 diesel engine, developing 490 or 540 hp, depending on the variant. Vehicle is fitted with a central tire inflation system. It is speculated that the NEMO is not amphibious.
