Extreme off-road defense vehicle unveiled by Indigen Armor [Video]
Features scalable armor packages
Indigen Armor has unveiled the Non-Standard Tactical Truck (NSTT).
Essentially an armored pickup, the NSTT is described as an "ideal, lightweight alternative to heavy legacy vehicles." It features four-wheel drive, scalable armor packages, and a powerful 6.0-liter turbo-diesel engine (which can also run on JP8 and other military fuels).
Specially-built to give "soldiers greater mobility in urban, desert, woodland, jungle, mountainous, and arctic terrain," the NSTT can be transported inside the MH-47 helicopter (a Special Forces version of the CH-47 Chinook).
While Indigen is keeping specifications a closely guarded secret, two company executives tested the NSTT in a trial by fire - literally. Thankfully, none of the rounds, shot by an AK-47, managed to enter the cabin.
Indigen Armor Unveils Extreme Off-Road Defense Vehicle
INDIAN LAND, SC - (May 4, 2010) - After nearly 7 years of relative obscurely manufacturing purpose-built armored vehicles for U.S. Special Operations groups, Defense Venture Group, through its subsidiary, Indigen Armor, has designed, engineered and manufactured a Non-Standard Tactical Truck (NSTT) for commercial release. Check out the video of company executives that sat in the vehicle while it was shot at with an AK-47 assault rifle. If it is good enough for our troops to ride in then it is good enough for the guys who made it to prove that it works.
The NSTT is an armored, 4-door, 4-wheel drive, turbo diesel pick-up truck. This truck is purpose-built, literally built from the ground up. The NSTT was designed to afford soldiers greater mobility in urban, desert, woodland, jungle, mountainous, and arctic terrain. The chassis, suspension, power train and armored occupant safety cell were engineered specifically to carry large payloads across rough landscape in denied areas.
The NSTT offers scalable armor packages to meet multiple threat levels. Its 6.0 turbo diesel engine runs on JP8 and other military diesel fuels. Internally transportable in an MH-47 helicopter, the NSTT can accommodate a variety of low-profile or overt tactical body styles. This allows the end user to change the vehicle's profile.
An ideal, lightweight alternative to heavy legacy vehicles, the NSTT comfortably accommodates four operators with their combat gear, communications equipment, and C4ISR technology. It is perfect for special operations, defense, paramilitary and security organizations that require a reliable and robust off-road capability in high threat environments.
