AMOS
AMOS or
Advanced Mortar System is a Finno-Swedish 120 mm semi-automatic twin
barrelled,
breech loaded
mortar turret. AMOS has been fitted to a wide range of armoured vehicles, such as the
Sisu Pasi,
Patria AMV and
Combat Vehicle 90. The
Swedish Navy originally planned to fit AMOS to the
CB90 assault craft, but found that it was too small to carry it. Instead, a project to develop the larger
Combat Boat 2010 was launched specifically to carry AMOS. Sweden cancelled its acquisition of the AMOS in 2009 due to budget regulations by recommendations from
Genomförandegruppen. In 2016 a new self propelled mortar system called ''Mjölner'' based on a
CV90 hull was ordered by the Swedish armed forces, it is based on the AMOS and has many visual similarities but is not as advanced.
