RTV-4 AND RTV-6 — MODULAR, MULTI-MISSION ROUGH-TERRAIN VEHICLES

• Designed for close-terrain operations, the RTV family accepts interchangeable mission kits for counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS), remote weapon stations, casualty evacuation, mortars and crew-served weapons. OEM-integrated options include the Dillon Aero M134-D, Arnold Defense FLETCHER LGR-4, FN deFNder Light and Medium, Javelin as well as heavy and medium machine guns.

• RTV-4 provides more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of payload and four seats as standard. An extendable rear tray can carry one or two litters, while the integrated M134-D option includes a 3,000-round ammunition magazine.

• RTV-6 adds a third axle and more than 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) of payload. Its two-seat configuration and high-capacity rear tray support larger mission systems, including an integrated FN deFNder Medium remote weapon station with weapon options up to a 30 mm chain gun. The elevating system lowers within the CH-47 transport envelope for stowage.

HIGH-SECURITY ISO CONTAINERS FOR ARMS, AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES (AA&E) AND TRANSPORTABLE SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION FACILITIES (T-SCIFS)

• Deployable, modular systems for securing weapons, electrically initiated explosive ordnance and sensitive communications equipment in land or maritime environments.

• Armour-plate construction is concealed within a standard ISO-container profile, providing a low visual signature. Available in 10 ft, 20 ft and 40 ft sizes, the systems use standard container transport, handling and securing equipment for rapid deployment.

• Self-contained options include HVAC, fire detection and suppression, intrusion detection, and remote monitoring and control.

• Systems are thermally insulated and fire rated, with options for complete boundary RF shielding or RF-shielded explosive-ordnance handling enclosures. Configurations can be tailored for specialised applications, including transport, erect and launch systems.

Our vertically integrated model supports the rapid development and delivery of high-quality military hardware.

In-house design, testing and manufacturing provide greater control, traceability and security across the product lifecycle.

We deliver fully integrated systems—not just base platforms—ensuring each installation preserves safety and operational capability.
