At Eurosatory, one of the world’s leading defence and security exhibitions, CSG company Tatra Defence Vehicle unveiled the TADEAS 4×4 Command Vehicle – armoured and highly modular platform designed to meet the demands of modern battlefield command. The new platform was unveiled at the CSG stand by John William Nicholson Jr., Member of the Board of Directors of CSG, Tomáš Mohapl, Chief Executive Officer of Tatra Defence Vehicle, who also ceremonially christened the vehicle with champagne, and Radomír Smolka, Chief Technical Officer of Tatra Defence Vehicle. The vehicle complements the already available Tadeas 6×6 variant and further expands the portfolio of modern armoured platforms based on Tatra chassis solutions.
The TADEAS 4×4 vehicle is designed primarily for customers seeking a highly mobile and resilient vehicle for command, communications, reconnaissance and other specialised missions. The Vehicle features a welded armoured hull providing a high level of protection, which can be enhanced with additional armour kits up to STANAG 4569 Level 4 ballistic protection. The vehicle roof can be fitted with light weapon mounts or remotely controlled weapon stations (RCWSs). Additional advantages include the use of common chassis and electronic components shared with the third-generation Tatra Force product line, as well as the option to select powertrains from Tatra, Cummins or Caterpillar.
A key feature is its modular architecture. Depending on its mission profile, the Tadeas 4×4 can be equipped with roof hatches, weapon mounts, or remotely operated weapon stations. This allows the vehicle to be flexibly adapted for command, support, or combat roles. Technologically, the vehicle is based on a shared platform with the third generation of the Tatra Force series. The Tatra Force series (also known as the Tatra 815-7 or T817) is a heavy-duty, highly capable off-road logistics vehicle produced by the Czech manufacturer Tatra. This platform uses standardized chassis and electronic components, which simplifies maintenance, logistics, and integration.
At Eurosatory 2026, the CSG group companies Tatra Defence, Tatra Export, Excalibur International, Excalibur Army, MSM Land Systems, MSM Group, Retia, Eldis, AviaNera Technologies, and the Fiocchi Munizioni, Federal, Speer and CCI brands united under the CSG Ammo+ division exhibited together within a joint CSG stand. CSG’s participation at Eurosatory 2026 confirmed the group’s growing role within the European defence industry. The CSG showcased new products, technological solutions and partnerships that combine industrial capabilities with development expertise, further strengthening its ability to deliver comprehensive systems for the current and future requirements of armed forces.
