QinetiQ North America (QNA) and MILREM today introduced Titan at the 2016 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

Milrem, a company that specializes in the development of unmanned vehicles and repair and maintenance of heavy-duty military vehicles, and QinetiQ North America partnered to create a breakthrough UGV that combines Milrem's THeMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System), the first fully modular hybrid unmanned ground vehicle made for military applications, with QinetiQ North America's robotic control technology - the Tactical Robot Controller (TRC) and Robotic Appliqué Kit (RAK). This joint solution not only meets, but exceeds, the rigorous SMET program requirements. As a multi-mission vehicle platform, Titan is able to perform complex and hazardous tasks on the battlefield that are currently performed by soldiers.

Key benefits include:

• Increases unit capability and squad support on extended missions
• Increases mission effectiveness
• Improves safety for warfighters
• Provides high load carrying capability and off-road mobility
• Diesel/Electric hybrid offers run-silent mode and squad auxiliary power
• Operable in unmanned or manned modes

"QinetiQ North America has a long history of providing the military with robust and reliable products that enable safer and more efficient operations. We are very excited to partner with Milrem and leverage QNA's unmanned ground vehicle technology to offer a new highly mobile, hybrid-electric robotic system that lightens the warfighter's load, increases  soldier safety and improves mission endurance," said Jon Hastie, Product Manager at QinetiQ North America.

"We are thrilled to partner with QinetiQ NA, a pioneer and technology leader in the unmanned ground vehicle sector," said Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem. "QinetiQ North America's well-known and robust control system and Milrem's highly versatile modular vehicle platform combine to create an ideal solution that adapts to any mission, from logistics support to advanced weapon systems."
