TROJAN Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers
Trojan is an armoured engineer vehicle designed to open routes through complex battlefield obstacles and clear a path through minefields.
Standard equipment includes a dozer blade, mineplough and excavator arm. Along with Titan it gives a common heavy Armoured Engineer fleet.
A Full-Width Mine Plough can be mounted at the front to clear mines and a marking system can also be fitted. It can also carry fascines to drop into ditches and tow a trailer-mounted rocket-propelled mine-clearing system.
Improved visibility is achieved by incorporating direct and indirect vision devices with low light, image intensifying and thermal imaging capabilities. The interior, and to some extent the exterior, of the vehicles have been designed around the crew station positions.
Trojan has the flexibility to support a wide range of operations, including humanitarian missions.
