Finland to acquire over 100 Patria TREMOS mortar systems

Patria and the Finnish Defence Forces have signed an agreement for the serial procurement of over 100 Patria TREMOS mortar systems, with an option for hundreds more. The deliveries are set to begin this year and continue through 2028.

The Patria TREMOS system was developed in close cooperation with the Finnish Army and the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command. It is designed to significantly enhance the mobility and operational effectiveness of heavy mortars. Following the delivery of a pre-series batch to the Finnish Army in 2025, the serial procurement agreement has now been finalized.

The Patria TREMOS system is a mobile version of the traditional mortar system. Its advanced recoil technology allows integration with a wide range of vehicle platforms, offering improved mobility, firepower, and accuracy. The system can be equipped with in-service barrels and breeches, enabling the use of existing ammunition and ballistic tables, which simplifies training and logistics.

This Finnish-developed and manufactured solution supports national security of supply. The serial production will take place at Patria's facilities in Finland and is estimated to create approximately 130 person-years of work. The agreement marks a significant milestone for Patria's weapon systems business and its prospects in the international market.
