1. Titan & Trojan Electrical / Electronic Diagnostic Trainer (EDT)
EDM Limited, based in the North West of England, have devel-
oped and constructed the Electrical / Electronic Diagnostic Trainer
for both the Titan and Trojan tanks for the British Army, allowing
the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) to train
students in maintenance and fault diagnostics. The EDT's allow
instructors to access a fault library and simulate errors in any of
the electrical/electronic systems on board and monitor and evalu-
ate student response in real time. All of the faults selected by the
instructor are fully representative of the type of fault that could be
encountered by the student in the real environment.
Titan is an armoured engineer vehicle designed to
enable troops and vehicles to cross gaps of up to
60 metres by laying a selection of close support
bridges.
Along with Trojan it gives a common heavy armour
fleet based on the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank chas-
sis.
Titan can carry and lay the current range of in-service
close support bridges, providing ground manoeuvre
formations with improved capability, giving them
greater flexibility.
The design of the EDT blends the exact fidelity of dimensions and
specifications within the tank with practicalities associated with
the demands of the training process.

A Full-Width Mine Plough can be mounted at the front
to clear mines and a marking system can also be fitted.
It can also carry fascines to drop into ditches and tow a
trailer-mounted rocket-propelled mine-clearing system.
Improved visibility is achieved by incorporating direct
and indirect vision systems including low light, image
intensifying and thermal imaging capabilities. The inte-
rior, and to some extent the exterior, of the vehicles
have been designed around the crew station positions.
Both Titan and Trojan have the flexibility to support a
wide range of operations, including humanitarian mis-
sions.
