Francuski Nexter je na IDS 2013 predstavio novi APC 6x6 Titus. Vozilo je proslo testiranja i bice ponudjeno za izvoz.
Citat:For mobility, the vehicle features front- and rear-axle steering, a modified Tatra-supplied fully independent swing-axle suspension system, and adjustable ride height/ground clearance.
Citat:In terms of mission flexibility, Titus' armour package can be easily modified to provide between NATO STANAG 4569 Level 1-4 protection. The vehicle was displayed equipped with a Nexter ARX20 remote weapon station (RWS) armed with a .50-calibre machine gun, and it can alternately be armed with a RWS-based weaponry up to a 20 mm gun or 40 mm grenade launcher. The vehicle also features a front-roof gunner hatch, and two rear-roof hatches, all of which can be equipped with pintle mounted light machine guns, while there is a firing port incorporated into the vehicles rear egress ramp.
Alternate variants of the Titus include command, ambulance, 81/120 mm mortar, engineering, and recovery, according to Nexter.
The vehicle has a combat weight of 23 tonnes, empty weight of 17 tonnes, and growth potential up to a gross weight of 27 tonnes. Titus is powered by a 440 hp engine and is designed to be air-transportable on board the Airbus Military A400M Atlas transport aircraft. For crew comfort, Titus features an internal volume of 14.4m², and in its default configuration accommodates three crew members (driver, gunner, commander) and 10 dismounted soldiers. This can be modulated to two crew members and up to 12 dismounts as required, while the all welded-steel monocoque hull is fitted for full nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection.
Rusi zainteresovani za Nexter, odnosno njihovo ministarstvo unutrasnjih poslova. Testiranja tri razlicita vozila ce biti na prolece u Francuskoj, druga dva su VBCI i ARAVIS. Inace Rusi su samo jedna od zvanica na tom testiranju/predstavljanju.
Citat:The Czech Ministry of Defence (MoD) has recommended the government selects the Nexter Systems Titus 6x6 armoured vehicle to fulfil a CZK2.7 billion (USD111 million) requirement for 42 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) platforms for the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR).
MoD sources leaked information to local media at the end of September that the Titus outperformed the indigenously designed and manufactured SVOS Vega 4x4 armoured vehicle in ACR trials that incorporated seven parameters, with the former platform scoring 25 points versus 12 scored by the latter.
According to the MoD sources, the Titus, which utilises a 6x6 chassis supplied by Czech truck maker Tatra, is said to be CZK4.5 million cheaper than the Vega and has a superior turning radius and the ability to negotiate steeper terrain.
Citat:
The ACR has a requirement for two versions of the Titus platform: a command-and-control (C2) variant; and a communications variant.
All 42 vehicles will be manufactured and assembled at the Tatra Trucks production facility in Koprivnice, with deliveries to take place between 2019 and 2023.
Ceska kupuje 62 komada za 303 miliona $( ukljucen PDV). 42 obicna i 20 posebno opremljenih komandnih za navodjenje artiljerije i avijacije, obuka i pet godina servisne podrske.
5 miliona po komadu??? Pa za te pare se dobije nov MBT. Cene oružanih sistema su sve nenormalnije. Pogotovo što 5 godina servisne podrške baš i nije impresivno za tolike novce. Još je vozilo na domaćoj šasiji.

U biti kupuju 42 komada komandnih i 20 komada za navođenje vatre sve sa logistikom i školovanjem. Predviđena cena 221.211.300 evra + 36.868.550 evra za 5-godišnje održavanje. Predviđena cena znači da će biti na kraju plačena puno niža prema mnogo puta viđenoj praksi.
1,8 miliona po vozilu (cena ako se podeli ukupna cifra sa brojem vozila.). Odprilike koliko su pominjali na Eurosatroy, cena bi trebala da bude 1,1 miliona za obicno vozilo - klasican MRAP za prevoz trupa, a svaka nadogradnja je dranje koze sa ledja!
