South Carolina, United States -
Indigen Armor has been a specialist in the design, engineering and
manufacturing of purpose built armored vehicles and sub-system
components for almost seven years.
The company consists of mechanical and design
engineers, electrical technicians, welders, fabricators, mechanics and
machinists who all work along side each other at a state-of-the-art
prototyping and manufacturing facility in Indian Island, South Carolina.
Indigen Armor has been
manufacturing purpose-built armored vehicles for U.S. Special
Operations groups and Defense Venture Group for some time.
And now the latest designed, engineered and
manufactured vehicle to be produced by the company is a Non-Standard
Tactical Truck (NSTT) for commercial release.
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 give soldiers
greater mobility in a variety of terrains. The chassis, suspension,
power train and armored occupant safety cell were engineered
specifically to carry large payloads across rough landscape in hard to
reach areas.
Indigen Armor say that 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.
The NSTT can comfortably accommodate four
operators with their combat gear, communications equipment, and C4ISR
technology. Indigen Armor also add that it is perfect for special
operations, defense, paramilitary and security organisations that
require a reliable and robust off-road capability in high threat
environments.
Indigen Armor have released this video of its
latest creation in action. Some of the companies executives actually
sat in the vehicle while it was being shot at with an AK-47 assault
rifle.
