Model: GSV-01-8x8-BEHEMOTH.
Length: 14.6m.
Width: 6.4m.
Height: 5.8m.
Mass: 48,200kg.
Crew: 1-16.
Power Source: Power banks only. The upper portions of the outer armour are covered with solar cells to draw additional power from sunlight and extend the life of the power banks.
Power Banks: Rated 4.5MWh. Nominal functions for up to 3 months dark and up to 2 years without a full system deep cycle charge. The power banks and inverters have a mass of over 800kg and line most of the internal walls.
Armament: The turret is armed with a Mk 26 40mm belt-fed automatic grenade launcher, ROF 150/min. And a Point Defence Cannon as twin L/70 style barrelled Close in Weapons System, 18x150mm tungsten carbide projectiles, ROF 2 x 350/min.
Armour: 52mm boron nitride ceramic plates under 8mm titanium panels.
Drive Train: 8 x 2m DIA printed, airless tyres are each independently powered by a 180kw 3-phase electric motor. The tyres are made of a shape memory alloy composed of nickel and titanium.
Top Speed: Up to 90km/h on sealed surfaces.
Range: Behemoth power banks require recharging every 3 months without access to sunlight, but the vehicle stores can hold enough rations and water for a full crew for up to 8 months in the field.
Surveillance: The front, sides, and rear of the vehicle are equipped with multiple fixed vision blocks with a full panoramic view. FHD colour or monochromatic for visible light. Night-vision, infrared, and ultraviolet. The turret is also equipped with a vision block that can rotate 360° independent of the turret's own rotation. Each Behemoth crew can command up to 4 unarmed microdrones to assist with surveillance.
Additional Information: Behemoths were designed as mobile defence/research platforms to allow Titan crews to explore new worlds in relative safety. Equipped with bunks for a full crew and tents for emergency additional shelters. Water procurement gear and survival kits with dozens of tools. Scientist crews may bring additional equipment of their own ranging on the type of testing ordered.
