The Tactical Infantry Transport and Utility System (TITUS) 6×6 armoured vehicle was handed over to the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR) on the first day of the International Defence and Security Technology Fair (IDET) 2023 held in Brno, Czech Republic, on 24–26 May 2023. The vehicle was one of five TITUS artillery fire support co-ordination posts delivered earlier in May, according to a 23 May Nexter press release on its participation in IDET.

The Czech Republic ordered 62 TITUS vehicles in 2019 – 42 command staff and liaison vehicles and 20 artillery fire support co-ordination posts. The command staff and liaison version can be used as a signals vehicle. Most of the vehicles will go to the ACR’s 4th Brigade Task Force and 7th Brigade Task Force, the latter of which has been designated as a heavy brigade committed to NATO.
