General

The AMV XA-360 is the Finnish version of the Patria Vehicles 8x8 Armored Modular Vehicle. An outgrowth of Finnish Army and Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) studies in association with Patria to replace the XA-203 6x6 Sisu Pasi APC, inital prototypes were built in 2001 and delivered in 2003 with serial production begining in 2004.

The concept behind the AMV series is to offer high mobility and payload capacity coupled with a high degree of modularity. This modularity allows the AMV to fufill the rolls of APC, IFV, C4I, ambulance, reconnaissance, ATGM, ARRV, or automatic mortar system vehicle.

The XA-360 is fitted with interchangeable ballistic armor modules of various thickness that can be tailored to suit mission requirements. This includes frontal protection against 30-mm armor-piercing rounds, RPG resistance, and high mine/IED/EFP protection being able to withstand up to a 10 kg TNT blast. By default, the XA-360 is unarmed, but in Finnish service is fitted with the M151 Protector remote weapon station, and the design is capable of carrying a wide variety of weapons stations including autocannon and 105/120 mm cannon equipped turrets.

This vehicle is crew-able at the Commander's (F7), Gunner's (F6), Driver's (F9), and Squad Leader's (F11) positions, but only partially modeled with rudimentary interiors. The dismount section for the AMV XA-360 is 8 men, equipped with 2 M136 (AT-4) light anti-armour weapons, an MG3, and 5.56mm rifles.

The AMV series has proven popular, finding service with the Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Macedonian, Polish (Rosomak [wolverine]), Slovenian (SKOV Svarun), South African (Badger), and the United Arab Emirates Armies.
