Indigen Armor: Non-Standard Tactical Truck

Indigen Armor - Non-Standard Tactical Truck (NSTT.)



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

An armored, 4-door, 4-wheel drive, 6.0 turbo diesel truck capble of running on JP-8 and other military fuels. This Non-Standard Tactical Truck (NSTT) can be internally transported in a CH / MH 47 helicopter. Built from the ground-up with the intent of being armored and operating in unforgiving terrain, the NSTT can operate in any denied environment.

Thanks to a 570 Lb-Ft NaviStar 6.0-liter diesel V8, the NSTT can reach 103 MPH, while fully independent suspension and huge departure and approach angles allow it to climb slopes of up to a 60 percent grade and traverse 40 percent side slopes. It's also bullet proof, able to withstand shots from an AK-47, as evidenced by this video.

With the 6.0L International engine? No thanks. Second worst diesel engine ever made (after the 350 GM 2-bolt main they put into street cars).

Very cool. I'm still waiting on lighter more flexible ballistic body armor. With all of the materials technology in development it can't be too far away ...... right?

Despite the appearance of being a Nissan Titan with a desert racing
front clip, the chassis is all new. Suspension is independent front
and rear, in part because the IRS allows the truck to travel comfortably
at higher speed, up to 100 mph.

I think they chose the International turbodiesel because it's also used
in many MRAP vehicles. So spare parts and trained mechanics would
be available in the motor pools of forward bases in Afghanistan.
