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.
TITUS® can be equipped with Remote Control Weapon Station from 7,62mm to 20mm, and 40mm Grenade Launchers as well, depending on the level of threats. All of them are coupled with thermal sensors of last generation and Laser Range Finders. Two Light Machine Guns can be added on the rear top of the vehicle.
TITUS® is fully integrated within the C4I network through last generation vetronics.
Nexter Battlefield® Management System FINDERS provides a situational awareness, enhanced by a perimetric camera system, and reconnaissance robot, allowing a safe dismounting.
To meet all the threat environments, TITUS® is customizable in different configurations:
- Low intensity: 7,62 mm RCWS, protection level 2, forward crowd fence, dozer blade, non-lethal weapons,..
- Conventional warfare: 12,7 or 20mm RCWS, 40mm grenade launchers, protection level 3, jammers, shoot detectors,...
- Counter-Insurgency / Military Operation in Urban Terrain: Additional Light Machine Guns on the back, protection level 4, bar armour against RPG, add on armour on windows, cable cutters,...
