Patria Hägglunds Oy was the Finnish-Swedish joint venture formed around the AMOS 120 mm turreted mortar program. Patria describes the AMOS collaboration as beginning with Swedish Hägglunds in 1995, with Patria responsible for weapon development and Hägglunds responsible for the turret and auxiliary systems. A later Patria article says Patria and Hägglunds set up Patria Hägglunds in 1999 to sell and market the jointly developed AMOS system, and Patria's 2010 Finnish Army order notice described the venture as owned equally by Patria Oyj and BAE Systems Hägglunds AB.
1 weaponsThe company's public footprint is concentrated on AMOS, a twin-barrel breech-loaded 120 mm mortar turret intended for protected wheeled, tracked, and naval platforms. Patria's own development history traces the system from the 1995 Patria-Hägglunds collaboration through the 1997 AMOS technology demonstrator, while its 2010 order announcement identifies Patria Hägglunds as the supplier for 18 Finnish Army AMOS mortar vehicles and the associated maintenance, overhaul, and training package.
Patria Hägglunds Oy's public-source footprint is limited to the AMOS joint venture and should not be read as a general substitute for Patria Group or BAE Systems Hägglunds. Patria's sources distinguish the AMOS venture from later Patria-only NEMO development, which followed after the heavier twin-barrel turret proved less suitable for smaller vessels.
AMOS is the joint venture's core system: a twin-barrel 120 mm breech-loaded mortar turret developed through the Patria-Hägglunds collaboration for vehicle and naval integration.

Public sources tie Patria Hägglunds Oy to the AMOS joint venture. Broader Patria Group systems, BAE Systems Hägglunds vehicle programs, and Patria-only NEMO development should remain separate unless a source specifically attributes them to Patria Hägglunds Oy.
