TITUS is mounted on a Tatra 6x6 chassis, coupled with an engine of 500Hp offering an exceptional mobility. Wrapped with an armored skin of last generation, from level 2 to level 4, TITUS is also protected against mines (up to 4a/4b) and IEDs blasts (up to 150kg), by the original Nexter SAFEPRO design (hanged floor, energy absorbing seats...). RPG protection 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, (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.

The Vehicle can be equipped with Remote Control Weapon Station from 7,62mm to 25mm, 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 perimeter camera system, and Nerva LG and Novadem's small UAS reconnaissance drones, allowing a safe dismounting.

To meet all the threat environments, TITUS is customizable in different configurations. In its "lower intensity" variant, the TITUS features i.a. 7,62mm RCWS, protection level 2, forward crowd fence, dozer blade, non-lethal weapons,...
