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.
