The Patria AMV 8x8 (Advanced Modular Vehicle or Armoured Modular Vehicle), also known as Patria XA-360, is a multi-role military vehicle produced by Finnish manufacturer Patria. The first vehicles were produced in 2003 and delivered to the Finnish Army. Serial production was started in 2004.
The Polish Army has ordered 313 AMVs with the Italian Oto Melara 30 mm turret and 377 AMVs in various other configurations to be delivered between 2004 and 2013.
The main feature of the AMV is modular design allowing the incorporation of different weapon, sensor, or communications systems on the same carriage. The Finnish Army has ordered AMVs fitted with the AMOS mortar system. Designs exist for communications version, ambulance version and a tank destroyer version fitted with a 120 mm cannon but it is unclear whether even prototypes of these have been constructed.
On June 12 2006 Ministry of Defence of Republic Slovenia declared that Patria AMV will be new 8x8 AFV of Slovenian Armed Forces (Patria will supply 136 vehicles).
