Patria is the market leader of modern 8x8 wheeled armoured vehicles and turreted 120 mm mortar systems with strong sales track-record. Both Patria AMV 8x8 wheeled armoured vehicle and Nemo 120 mm turreted mortar are already in use in the Middle East. Patria AMV 8x8 is currently in commission by seven nations in wide range of environments. The vehicle is combat-proven in the real mission environment. KONGSBERG offers products and systems for remotely controlled weapon systems, command and control, weapons guidance, communications solutions and missiles. The two companies make a strong team together and will now develop their solution further to meet the future customer needs.

“Together with KONGSBERG we are a strong competitor with outstanding performance, skills and solutions, enabling us to offer the state of the art systems for next generation soldiers”, says Mika Kari, President of Patria’s Land business unit.

“This is a strategic partnership - combining each company’s unique strengths and expertise as well as our best practices means we can build even better solutions to future markets”, says Espen Henriksen, President of Kongsberg Protech Systems.
