Nexter unveils new TITUS Tactical Infantry Transport & Utility System vehicle at DSEI 2013.

TITUS is the ultimate armored vehicle designed by Nexter in order to meet all the constraints of the modern hybrid warfare. Continuing a famous long lineage, including Leclerc MBT, VBCI and Aravis, all combat proven in many theatres of operation, Nexter combined the best of its experience and technology in TITUS. The tactical commander disposes now of a 6x6 vehicle customizable for an evolving environment. TITUS is the versatile armoured vehicle of the XXIst century. From Infantry transport to combat support and combat service support functions, from Peace Keeping Operation to Counter Insurgency, TITUS brings the technology and the Nexter touch into the heart of the action.

TITUS is mounted on a Tatra 6x6 chassis, coupled with an engine of 440Hp (550Hp in option) offering an exceptional mobility. Wrapped with an armored skin of last generation, from level 2 to level 4, TITUS is also protected against mines (4a/4b) and IEDs blasts (up to 150kg), by the original Nexter SAFEPRO design (hanged floor, energy absorbing seats…). RPG protection (PG Guard can be added). Thus, the units can be committed into the battlefield quickly and safely. Furthermore, to allow the crew (Driver, Gunner and Tactical commander) and the embarked squad to last a long time on the terrain, an exceptional effort of habitability has been done by Nexter in the hull. Internal volume is beyond 14m3, added by 4m3 of storage, and, as the hull -without obstacle from front to back- opens towards outside by a ramp with a minimal ground step (280mm), egress and ingress are really facilitated.

Stay tuned ! Following soon the video of the vehicle.
