Nexter’s TITUS ARX25 Offers Impressive Range and Effect

Designed and manufactured for extreme protection, TITUS (Tactical Infantry Transport & Utility System), the latest generation 6x6 armoured vehicle by Nexter, provides a wide response to all asymmetric threats: mobility, protection, ergonomy and flexible deployment.

Continuing a long lineage, including Leclerc (MBT), VBCI (IFV) and ARAVIS (highly protected 4x4), all combat proven in many theatres of operation, Nexter has combined the best of its experience and technology in TITUS.

What has added a huge advantage is flexibility. TITUS can be equipped with any kind of Remote Control Weapon Station from 7.62mm to 25mm, and 40mm Grenade Launchers as well, depending on the level of threats and type of missions. It can be fitted with a Nexter ARX25 remotely controlled turret located on the front left side of the top of the hull.

Equipped with an advanced stabilised day/night sensor head allowing panoramic observation and providing on-the-move capability, ARX25 ensures superior target acquisition and engagement. Loaded with up to 280 rounds ready-to-fire, ARX25 meets the operational requirements for surveillance, protection, security and combat missions, on open modern battlefields as well as in urban areas. ARX25 is based on a modular design enabling integration of a wide range of optional functions. It offers various capabilities in operation. Light with no intrusion into chassis, ARX25 is a real alternative to medium caliber manned turrets or to 30mm RCWS, by offering an excellent performance/cost ratio and an important payload gain.

TITUS Variants

The variants of Nexter TITUS include a target acquisition vehicle, command post, ambulance, and self-propelled 120mm mortar vehicle, while other variants such as urban area, mobility support and recovery and re-supply vehicles are available on request.

It took two years of internal development and investment by the company to provide a cost-efficient wheeled armoured vehicle solution.

From infantry transport to combat support and combat service support functions, from peace keeping operations to counter-insurgency, TITUS has brought the technology into the heart of the action.

Mobility Factor

The Nexter TITUS offers exceptional mobility through its Tatra 6x6 chassis coupled with a Cummins 500 Hp engine coupled to an automatic gearbox with 6 forward and 1 reverse speeds.

The vehicle has front and rear wheeled steering with Allison automatic transmission offering 6x4 drives on roads with full 6x6 drives over difficult terrain. The TITUS can run at a maximum road speed of 110 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 700 km.

The TITUS is enhanced by integrating robots (NERVA on the ground and IXOS-LG from the roof) on the body, enabling the crew to extend its observation capabilities without exposing itself to the outside of the vehicle.
