Advanced Mortar System (AMOS) - Twin Barrel 120mm Mortar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2018
- AMOS or Advanced Mortar System is a 120 mm automatic twin barreled, 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.

Like this video????... Check out the new Challenger 2 upgrades coming to the British Army! ua-cam.com/video/tK2y2dt8v38/v-deo.html
thx for the great review as usual...Great vehicle,It misses a .50 cal machine-gun system(installed,between the two cannons)will come handy if you run out of Mortar Ammo,because besides an open battle field,I can see this machine in "city" close-combat,to fight "sniper"nests,for example.
Any details on the power-Plant...???

Once again, the buttholes controlling UA-cam, failed to notify me that anyone commented on my post.....🤨
Twin barrelled mortar, reminds me of 90's real time strategy games.
MrMonkeybat reminds me of a game called universe at war earth assault, there's a tank with quad barrels
Hmm.. something like Red alert soviet heavy tank
Reminds me of supreme commander

Command and conquer!
I was in a training exercise once with these on the opposing forces side and it was a nightmare. Our side consisted of the Finnish armoured brigade and the other side from variour jaeger brigades and the one single thing I hated more than anything was the AMOS. It was frustrating as all hell to come under mortar fire, try to push forward fast to engage the mortar team only to realise the bastard was an AMOS and simply had fired and then ran away further to rain down judgement again. Truly a wonderful piece on machinery if it's on your side.
Lmao that's awesome, ... But how does it maintain target sight? Especially with you rushing the mortar linesa
@@mandelorean6243 it has GPS so maintaining target lock is easy as hell.
And fuly stabilyside turret. It can shoot to same terget area while driving
@@mandelorean6243 Just to add, there is also a drone system being developed that can do recon for you and can designate targets. Those two together will be quite devastating.
Sweden pulled out of this project. We in Finland have it in operational status on multiple platforms, including land and sea.
Built in Sweden how ever...
@@angryfinn7737 , it was the conservative Reinfeldt government that decided to have a bunch of amateurs (Genomförandegruppen, see wikipedia, inkluderande Allan Widman) sit in the department of finance and randomly cancel projects "to be more cost efficient", in spite of cancelling costing more as damages had to be paid... and in the case of AMOS, the turrets already being made and just waiting to be installed in the chassies already prepared and waiting for the turrets.
My general feeling from seeing a variety of northern European discussion is that:
“Sweden gay”

@@rolfstamenov9914 Nice one! 👍
By addition of another barrel, scientists were able to double said firepower
That's the Power of Math !
@Joseph Smith to be fair there are mechanical issues when you add another barrel
IS 100% MORE BULLET !!!
I think it could probably fit a few more barrels. Maybe a rotary with 5-6?
Finnish him!
Used to be a forward observer for wheeled AMOS system. It's simply amazing. Extremely fast and precise. Even when vehicle was moving I could get multiple rounds on target simultaneously in under 1 minute!
Don't know there are a wheeled AMOS version.
And later you woke up 😆
@@model901 As said in the video, the AMOS is the weapons system and can be on any platform
@@zepter00 Idk where the scepticism of wheeled AMOS system comes from but Finland has mounted them on the Patria AMV and multiple of these have been in every independence day parade since it came in use in the Finnish Defence Forces. You can literally find the parades and the vehicles in them on UA-cam smh
@@model901 Even the description of this video mentions Sisu Pasi and Patri AMV, which are wheeled.
I love how the AMOS turret could be placed on a river boat like implemented by the Swedish navy and how it could still be fired at high speed while on the move.
It's pretty impractical as you see how much the boat rocks when it shoots.
@@2genders a good stabilizer would fix that
This looks perfect for home defense.
@@alaric_3015 Nemo at least has a sufficiently working stabilizer even for that.

See this thing in action (during my service in the Finnish military) it is one hell of a machine
Imagine 10 of these firing in a line all at once
With each of them using adjusting angles of fire for one giant simultaneous impact.

@M ZAKRIA It's not really any more threatened by anti-tank weapons systems than any other armored vehicles. Sure, it might be a higher value target than most similar sized vehicles but that's about it.

Apocalypse tanks are coming
one step closer to metal gear (and maybe an overlord/mammoth/apocalypse tank)
An autonom.version of this would be AWESOME to have operating close to the front! Holy crap!
You could stop an entire division in their tracks with 2-3 of these!
I am trained in 60 and 82 mm mortar. Trained crews from the state of disassembled to targets aimed with under a minute. My crew’s personal record is 52 seconds. If you have a good spotter. The enemy gets a precise steel rain for 3-6 minutes depending on the distance and shooting parameters. After firing, the mortar was disassembled in 15-20 seconds and we were again moving towards the new firing position. It's all because of the artillery radars. Anything slower and you become a target
But u cant fire mord than 6km.
What was left unsaid was WHY it is SO GOOD to have the shells land at the same time:
When the first one hits, it takes just a few secs for the enemy to take cover. After 10 seconds, the enemy sustains 80% less casualties. This is why its not useful to keep firing after that. Also there is the danger of counterbattery fire.
When all the shells hit within 2-3 seconds, the effect is greatest. After that, its time to scoot and not be there when the enemy shells hit your position.
That simultaneous impact is so damn clever, and awesome
DE4DSHOT lol we use it on all guns lol not just these

First time i heard about that is when i was in the bundeswehr and they talked about the pzh2000.
you trade maximum range for the gang-bang downrange. I guess this is a reason for the 'double pipe.' 😁

When loaded with Swedish Strix, guided mortar rounds, with anti-tank capability, it's gonna be truly Epic. Nothing else like that still, and 10 yrs old. Makes total sense in that Scandinavian theatre
Just a little correction. Finnish AMOS is mounted on XA-360 aka Patria AMV. The prototype was mounted on XA-203 aka Pasi.
Yawn
Nobody gives a flying fuck.

I like this idea a lot. I think it could really add a lot of firepower for troops being deployed. With the full armor it can provide support far closer than traditional motor systems. The one thing I noticed and would like to see addressed, is the ammo storage. I see no blast door,which makes me highly uncomfortable. I think it you put in a blast door similar to the Abrams and a blow out panel, this vehicle is ideal and far safer.
There's just something amazing about twin guns.
I think every tank should have them, just for aesthetics sake.
Or perhaps 3
@@hillanderson6503 120mm 6-barrel electrically-driven. Call it GAU-666 and slap a couple of those on each Abrams.
There's a very good reason no tank with two main gun barrels has entered regular service. There's no room for the loader or autoloader in a reasonably sized and mobile tank. With a mortar system this is less of a problem as they are far smaller and much lighter.
It would still be a game changer if it was even 81mm. Imagine 4 to 6 of these throwers firing in unison. They could also carry more rounds vs weight. Thanks for the review.

Rotary version NOW.
I was going to say that...
6 Barelled rotatory 120mm mortar system. I wonder how many resupply vehicles you'd need trailing a single one of those systems to keep it firing for 1 minute.
You will need a factory!
I was thinking 4 barrel like a Shilka.
That would entirely depend on the ROF, which if driven by an electric or hydraulic moter could be anything.
During my career as an 11C, I advocated for a breach-loaded 120mm mortar mounted on a Bradley or ABrams chasis. I also wanted a direct-fire capability (HEAT, Beehive, etc) in addition to the traditional high angle rounds.
This vehicle family is as close to perfect as it gets. On the CV90 platform you could have fire support from the AMOS, direct assault and AT fire from the 120, and SPAAG with dismounts from the IFV.
Ahhh, do I love when I had the pleasure to Order around Platoon of these.
Artillery Forward Observer Officer. FDF o7
As an artillery observer nco in Finnish army, i don't want to have these mortars available to me in war because then i would be in very shitty and dangerous place. Like in the direction of the main attack of the enemy (read russia).
Don't worry about the Russians, look what happened to them a few weeks ago when they attacked a US/Kurdish base in Syria
user 12345 apparently there were no russians in that attack. "Der Spiegel" did some research and only came up with a few dead mercenaries of russian descent that appear to have been killed in a counter-attack by the american forces. Not killed during the attack on the syrian base before.
Not to worry about the russian army would be a very bad mistake.
martialme84 Wagner is a Russian proxy PMC, and its hard to dig up anything on these people.
Yeah... kinda like the russian blackwater or whatever they call themselves later today.
Sweet piece of kit
Game changer INDEED!!
Thanks for the video.
Hope you are staying safe and healthy in these troubling times.
. As a retired TC/ M1A1Abrams main battle tank commander, I like this concept of not having mortar platoons exposed while firing their mortars with little way to escape after sending rounds down range.
Thanks for the video. I'm subbed
it looks 100% like the german ww2 AA tank Coelian. And I mean EXACTLY like it
That's what I was think my mind went straight to war thunder.
Yes
Wow the turret those look like the coelian's
This is a swedish CV90 fom Hägglunds
Actually it looks more like a Kugelblitz
The modern combat we see today of tanks shooting and scooting urban areas before an advance, would be very interesting with this system
That is one badass Mortar system. Best i have seen thus far...
Blast effect plus concussion effect of the blast of these rounds . Massive head ache . Thank you .
I would submit regarding anti-armour capability, following the words of WoT's The Chieftain when he did a vid on the ISU-152, that if you're in an armoured Tank and hit by a 6in HE shell (for the ISU-152 - obs multiple 120mm HE rounds for this) that your crew will have an 'emotional incident'
Holy shit! I've never seen this before! That so freaking badass!
I still dream that Denmark will expand their CV90 fleet, and include this to support it. Also... the direct fire - damn that could be useful in urban combat. Like a modern day Stug
Bloody awesome.
Always glad to see state-of-the-art military tech come from a small country like mine. :D
That is one impressive autoloader for AMOS.
Also. Suomi Finland perkele.
SISU !!
Yes, yes, I know. 3 Comments in a row. Had to say that the AMOS is one scary arsed piece of gear. Australia needs it too. It would be a good excuse for us to invest in a IFV variant heavier than the ASLAV, which I feel would be useful. We have Abrams and ASLAV's but nothing really in between that could run with the Abrams at the tip of the spear. A system like this has huge psychological value too. I am a damn civvy and am very unlikely to ever be on the receiving end of a bloody 2'' mortar. Even so, the AMOS scares the shit outta me. Bloody glad it is made by nations friendly to mine! Great vid.
'to invest in a IFV variant heavier than the ASLAV'
Eh, you already do. LAND 400 phase 3 aims at a tracked IFV.
Jonny If you have ever seen the ADF at work, you would realise that 'aiming' is something that the troops are good at. The suits in Canberra are good at missing the mark. Phase 3 may include a tracked IFV. Maybe. If the Boxer is procured and it works well, there is every possibility that they will go with that and not procure the tracked vehicle. Here's to hoping that they do. It would be a damn good idea.
To be honest, the wheeled component of LAND 400 is way, way overspecced for protection to the point that there are now big questions over the deployability of the Patria AMV or the RM Boxer. 30-40 ton vehicles of the height and bulk of these beasts means that Australia will now no longer have the ability to redeploy them strategically by air - the RAAF C-130s won't be able to take them. And I believe there are less than 5 Globemasters as well. So it would basically take up our entire Globemaster fleet to transport just one single platoon of wheeled vehicles (4 for hulls, 1 for ammo, crew, armour panels, spare parts).
It also means that should either the AMV or Boxer break down, we might not even have the engineering vehicles to recover them, or cruelly overtax what engineering vehicles we do have.
The ADF wants to fight like they're in the European theatre, in the middle of the Fulda Gap where armour and firepower determines battles. Or in Afghanistan where they expect to run their wheels over 100kg IEDs because their vehicles are too heavy to not get bogged down in the muddy fields of opium farmers.
The ADF should have gone with what works: the CV90 at 25 tons for the tracked component, and perhaps the French VCBI or the Singaporean Terrex for the wheeled component. If the ADF is called upon to fight in the European theatre then the world is about to end in thermonuclear fire and it won't matter what vehicles are deployed if Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney are converted to glass by ballistic missile submarines. If the ADF is called upon to fight in the MENA then the excessive fuel consumption and high ground pressure will force the vehicles to stick to the roads and take IEDs right up the arsehole. And while it is difficult to assure IED survival without MBT levels of weight in armour, it is infinitely easier for insurgents to simply make a bigger bomb.
Reliability and mobility are worth more than the extra tons of armour that the AMV and Boxer are weighed down by. France's rapid advance across Mali in operation Serval showed that decisiveness of action requires the utmost of speed and reliability, even when off road, and in terrible infrastructure. Their buildup and staging was also assisted by the strategic mobility of their wheeled brigades - something that heavier vehicles are always trading off against.
As for the Hagglunds AMOS, I am all for it. The rapidity of fire delivery that big bore mortars bring is essential no matter where one fights land battles. A CV90 AMOS with STRIX and perhaps an option for a 120mm GLATGM like the Ukrainian Falarick will deliver 90% of the capability that the ADF's gas-guzzling, overweight Abrams provide.
The ADF's obsession with big ticket, expensive, strategically immobile assets will prove to be a liability if we ever fight anyone more competent than insurgents.
Gotta love that early 90's production quality of their marketing video :') 10/10
DUDE YOUR CHANNEL IS AAAAMAZINGGGGGG Im trying to watch all your stuff but wow you have ALL the good TOYS bro ...really badass
It's a real piece of bad news in any asymmetric warfare scenarios, especially with those programmable airburst rounds.
But when rpg's, 40mm low velocity and recoiless airburst ammo become mainstream I think things will really change.
I like this turret system a lot . I'd love to see some thermobaric / air fuel, Added to the 120mm for this system maybe a multi task heat- duel purpose round
Now ,that is a "Beast" . Hate to have to argue. With that ,no win situation . Thank you .
The fact that this can be mounted on a striker makes it a fantastic design simplifying the logistics chain.
Matsimus what you mean future precision Ammunition for mortars? Those are already in use in Finland.
Continuing: a 120mm Shell can penetrate T-90's top armor. So yes it can penetrate armor
It can of course because it's a heavy object that's affected by gravity and is able to direct kinetic energy in a very small area, a.k.a the tip of the munition,but it is NOT made as an anti armour munition type, it's just able to pierce some armour, the turret top of a vehicle is always going to be stupidly thin.
DonRaynor a 120mm shell can penetrate any modern MBT in existence from top armour. not just t90. Unless it has hard kill APS that hit projectiles coming from above.
The 2S4 Tyulpan can also do that. It fires a 240mm mortar which weighs around 130kg. In addition to the high explosive bombs, it can fire armour-piercing, chemical and nuclear rounds. It can also fire the "Smel'chak" ("Daredevil"), a laser-guided round. However it can't fire chemical rounds anymore cause Russia destroyed all their chemical weapons. It saw action during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya. In both conflicts, the Smel'chak round consistently destroyed targets quickly, precisely, and with only a few rounds.
those HEAT rounds are probably duel purpose anti-bunker/building aswell as anti-vehicle so you can pound enemy defences with a mixture of these and HESH and HE and stuff and you can at least damge verything in the target zone.
Matthew Burger STRIX have sensors and on board computer so it can select target or action and guide the munition toward a target with rocket pulses.

Paul Hannoever the swedish politicians did nerf it before it was implemented for economic reasons, the Finns finished it though afaik

That is a very exciting new piece of equipment. Very cool. My new favorite. Very effective
My goodness what a beautiful technology in weapons.
Double the fun!
Ohhh yeaa!
I love your channel man great detail and information
The multiple round simultaneous impact (MRSI) seems excellent for asymmetric. The detection of rogue elements can be fleeting. Close air support inbound can be seen by them or their friends warning them to scatter. The tracked vehicle moving around the countryside is more discrete with an indirect arc. The increased beaten area of the MRSI improves the odds of striking the soft targets as they mill about in their position. Heavier artillery could do something similiar but the cost per shot goes up. The 120mm seems hit the "sweet spot" for the dollar cost to engage.
Imagine a smaller version for the Wiesel
Holy RIP headphone users.

Jake Haberman what you don’t like my mong like British voice screaming down your ear? Why not?.....

What an excellent csw i like the way its mobile and armoured providing protection from shrapnel and small munitions
These for hit and run are fantastic. They can have a mission near enemy lines, go there, make theyr calculations, fire and go away in a couple of minutes
This platform is what the Ukrainian Army needs!!!. Flat out!. Even in the direct fire mode, devastating!.
The idea is decent, and it seems to work really well.
Only thing I can't help but think, is that it is that the Mortar is meant to be a cheap, light artillery system for the infantry, putting it in a vehicle makes it more expensive and I wonder if a more conventional artillery system isn't more applicable in the long run...
But it looks quit effective, and our battalions in Denmark, could benefit from having this in service.
bandholm the thing is it provides a steeper angle of attack for the rounds
No you can fire artillery at that angle. Nothing is stopping you from doing so.
gus bisbal do most spgs have 85 degree eluvations angle
The term mortar doesn't refer to "infantry artillery", it's just the type of gun they are.
I was drafted as an artillery man (m109a3) in the german bundeswehr 15 years ago. If I recall it correctly the classification if a gun is a cannon, howitzer or mortar relies on the ratio barrel length to caliber. I don't know the exact thresholds, but a cannon has a long barrel for its caliber, the mortar a very short barrel and the howitzer lies in between.
Unfortunately I couldn't confirm it via wikipedia(german), where they are talking about the type of directing the gun (cannon - direct fire, mortar indirect, howitzer both).
Caruma Insane
"The term mortar doesn't refer to "infantry artillery", it's just the type of gun they are."... Didn't claim that it was the classification, just what it is most commonly used for.
"if a gun is a cannon, howitzer or mortar relies on the ratio barrel length to caliber"... I have never heard that should be the classification... I am not an artillery man, but I have always been told that the difference was in the angle of attack...
The gun shoots in flat trajectory, resulting in direct fire. The Mortar shoots in a high-arcing ballistic trajectories, the howitzer is in between... And of course there is the difference of range and shells/bombs.
The potential of computer controlled and precision guided mortars in asymmetric warfare is significant as a cost effective strategy for supporting infantry. Artillery and conventional armor have always struggled in CIW. The mobility demands of most CIW are difficult for conventional tactics to deal with because the intensity of the counter threat is difficult to anticipate before a conflict. AMOS has some unique advantages in CIW as well: Great ambush protection with direct fire mode and fully covered turret. Adaptable to IED resistant platforms versus direct fire armor. Excellent range and ROF. Considerably lighter than a MBT. PGMs will be able to target technicals and anti-aircraft guns.
This is an Outstanding System! It has everything a Mortar System & Artillery System needs plus Outstanding Flexibility to go with & integrate into other platforms! The Top Attack System is Amazing!
I was serving in the military just when the first AMOS came to our base and I was on loan at the mortar company for the basic training (The mortar company hadn't trained NCO's for training of the new privates, possibly due to AMOS coming in.) so I heard the officers talk about the new systems and they were pretty conflicted about it. Yes they saw its benefits but for some reason they never really liked the system as a whole. No idea really why as I was only a conscript and so didn't question the career officers.
Although this happened over 10 years ago, so minds might have changed.
Finally someone put a mortar on wheels, it was time for this idea to be real
David Stoimenovski it's been real?
This thing is CRAZY COOL
To this day, your Intro is still second to none.
Put the AMOS on the Bradley hull now. That will replace the M113 mortar carrier in the heavy brigade of the US Army. Put the single barrel unmanned turret NEMO version on the Stryker hull to keep C-130 capabilities. The USMC might do the same with their LAV-25.
Forget about fancy new lasers and railguns. This shit is real and doable.
My only question is; does it come in a rifled bore?
Patria NEMO is low profile single barrel version of AMOS. Would serve that C-130 transportable Stryker -need well.
Is that not what the M1129 is for, a Stryker with a 120mm mortar mounted to fire out the top hatches.
I know that the Corps was looking into a large bore, automatic mortar system that could be deployed on an LAV or dismoutned for use on foot but I think that it might gotten canceled. At any rate, it wasn't as fancy as the AMOS as it only had one barrel and it still fired through an open hatch in the back in the usual vehicle mounted way.
The M1129 was deployed to Iraq at least in 2005 onwards in Stryker units.
john harker mortars aren't rifled.
I think the JSDF would benefit from a system like this quite a bit. It would couple nicely with the type 10s communication matrix capabilities and also the mountainous terrain would make this an ideal weapon to have.
I know this is 4 years old but considering JSDF recently took AMW as their new choice of apc it would work really well for them and suit their needs
weird 4 years later never seen this in practice. looks very cool!
That is freaking awesome!
Finally something from Finland. Thank you Matsimus!
Besides "Ice Hotels"?
Holy fuck. The way that the suspension compresses when the barrels are vertical! This thing is mental. I hope that they have a direct fire mode. That would be mega against IFV's.
Daniel Beard lol the video tells you it has direct fire lol
