NEMO
F
innish Patria NEMO automatic mortar
system fitted into standardized 20-ft
container. The complete weight of such mo-
dule is 10 t (including 100 mortar rounds).
Container can be lifted with and fired from
a truck or a boat or can be set on the gro-

E13 8x8 truck.
HE-EXR
N
ammo 155 mm HE-ExR long range
artillery round concept developed in
Extreme Range Concept program. The HE-
-ExR is ramjet technology. for artillery range
extension. Nammo declares that HE-ExR
shell fired from standard 155 mm howitzer
with L/52 barrel could reach up to 100 km
range. The new technology – a type of air
breathing system where the shell has an
internal rocket engine that takes in oxy-
gen through the nose of the projectile and
in turn uses it to burn the propellant, solid
hydrocarbon fuel, thus generating thrust.
HE-ExR will bring the range in the three-digit
dimension, the Mach 3 velocity being ma-
intained for around 50 seconds, a ramjet
being inherently self-regulating maintaining
a constant Mach number independently of
altitude, allowing the round to hit a target at
over 100 km. The serial production should
be started in 2023-2024.
