Extreme conditions embedded - Patria’s highlighted offering at BAHNA 2026


Protected Mobility

Patria AMV XP 8x8 is a state-of-the-art modular, and robust armoured wheeled vehicle providing superior firepower, protection, and mobility. Our combat proven AMV family has gained experience from various operations and has become the trusted solution to protecting nations and soldiers. Patria AMV has been contracted already to 9 nations, over 1600 pieces sold. Patria AMV XP 8x8 is showcased with EVPU Turra weapon system configuration.

Patria 6x6 is modular and high-performance wheeled vehicle, but at the same time simple, robust and affordable to provide this tactical capability in larger fleet quantities. It provides modern protection and high mobility. Patria 6x6’s modular design allows a wide variety of specific configurations for diverse missions. Patria 6x6 is perfect choice for any troop transportation and combat support roles. Within the multinational Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) programme Patria has already received orders for almost 2000 Patria 6x6 vehicles and has delivered more than 220 vehicles. The programme is open to European countries with similar equipment requirements, by mutual consent of the participating countries.

Defence and Weapon Systems

Patria NEMO is a compact and flexible turreted 120 mm mortar system for the needs of modern warfare and crisis management, which calls for mobility, protection, and accuracy. It is an indirect fire support system, but due to its direct fire capability, it can also be used for self-defence. One of NEMO's most renowned features is the MRSI (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) capability, and now it also offers MTSI (Multiple Targets Simultaneous Impact). This advanced function allows up to five rounds to be fired at separate targets simultaneously – even on the move.

Now powered also by ILIAS, Patria OPTIME service concept for the sustainment of military equipment combines engineering expertise with efficient data utilization in a modular and tailored way and it is set up in phases together with the customer.
