TERRIER is a tracked, armoured, engineer vehicle that can be equipped to fulfil a variety of military tasks.

Its quick-hitch mechanism means the bucket can be rapidly dropped and replaced with either a set of forks (much like a fork lift truck), a ripper for tearing up road surfaces or a device for clearing mines from road surfaces. Similarly the different fittings for the side excavator arm can be used to dig holes, lift objects, drill into the ground or shatter concrete.

TERRIER can also tow the 18 tonne engineer trailer and deploy fascines and trackway to assist other vehicles in moving around the battlefield.

The vehicles environmental control system allows the crew to work comfortably in all conditions from desert to arctic, and the thermal imaging and image intensifier sights permit both day and night operation.

Most tasks can also be conducted by remote control from over 1 km away with the 5 onboard camera systems providing the operator a close up view. The vehicle is also equipped with advanced diagnostic analysis software enabling the crew to keep the sub-systems working to their optimum capacity.

The 600 litre fuel tank and the vehicles impressive agility allow TERRIER to keep up with both Warrior and Challenger whilst the armour plating and General Purpose Machine Gun provide protection to the crew.

Despite being over 8 metres long and 30 tonnes in weight TERRIER can still be transported in either the C17 Globemaster or Airbus A400M military transport aircraft.
