EJDER TOMA has been developed to meet modern internal security requirements by combining high mobility, crew protection, and scalable non-lethal intervention capabilities. Leveraging Nurol Makina’s extensive experience in military vehicle design, the platform adapts armored vehicle standards to public order missions, emphasizing durability, survivability, and operational continuity.

Operational Purpose and Role

The vehicle is designed for riot control, crowd dispersal, barricade clearing, area dominance, and maintaining security in sensitive regions such as borders. It enables controlled and proportionate response through non-lethal means such as water, gas, dye, and foam.

Doctrine and Concept of Use

EJDER TOMA fits the doctrine of graduated response. It supports deterrence through visibility and announcements, area suppression with high-pressure water, individual or group marking with dye, and dispersion using gas or foam mixtures, all controlled from within the protected cabin.

Platform Architecture

• Chassis: Proprietary military chassis with fully independent suspension
• Mobility: 4x4 drivetrain optimized for urban and off-road operations
• Superstructure: Armored cabin, multi-tank layout, water cannon turret
• Command & Control: Fully integrated in-cabin control systems

Survivability and Protection

• Self-contained ballistically protected cabin
• Positive-pressure cabin against gas threats
• Wire mesh protection for the windshield
• Fire-retardant paint and automatic fire suppression systems
• Emergency escape provisions for the crew

Accuracy, Reaction, and Effectiveness

The Nurol Makina–designed water cannon provides an effective range of approximately 60 meters, with vertical coverage from -15° to +60°. Real-time directional control ensures precise application, while self-cleaning lines prevent corrosion and clogging during prolonged operations.

Integration and System Ecosystem

The vehicle can be equipped with integrated camera and recording systems, public address and siren units, 360-degree situational awareness, day/night vision, and optional long-range acoustic deterrent systems.
