Designed and manufactured in the UK, the CERBERUS utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to ensure low-cost global service and maintenance. Its configurable platform allows for adaptation to various mission roles, making it ideal for a variety of military and civil defense applications. Performance is ensured by a Daimler engine and an Allison transmission, complemented by Meritor independent suspension axles, providing exceptional maneuverability across different terrains.

The CERBERUS offers base protection compliant with Level 2 of the STANAG 4569 standard against ballistic projectiles and mines, with upgrade options available up to Level 3 for more significant threats. In terms of mobility, it meets the requirements for Improved Medium Mobility (IMM) with an option to upgrade to High Mobility (HM), suitable for more demanding operational conditions.

In addition to its defensive capabilities, the CERBERUS has a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 kg and can support a payload of 3,000 kg, essential for safely transporting equipment and personnel. With a maximum speed of 110 km/h and a range of 800-900 km, this vehicle is well-equipped for long-duration missions.

The CERBERUS illustrates the UK's ongoing commitment to innovation in the defense sector, providing solutions that address contemporary threats while remaining flexible to future developments. Its exhibition at DVD 2024 highlights its potential role in modernizing military vehicle fleets worldwide, offering a robust and adaptable platform to meet the security and mobility requirements of armed forces and security agencies.

The CERBERUS armored vehicle was introduced into the British armed forces in 2022 as part of an effort to modernize the military vehicle fleet and address the challenges posed by increasingly complex operational environments. Its modular design and protective capabilities make it a preferred choice for various military missions.
