The testing was conducted to validate the integration of the Nemo turreted mortar system into a 20in sea container.
Patria said that the Nemo Container performed as expected and 'the concept of the 20in sea container with 120mm turreted mortar system was proving its ingenuity by combining unforeseen flexibility / mobility and firepower during the testing'.
It can be operated as a stand-alone firing unit, both with direct and indirect fire, making it suitable for camp protection.
