The low-silhouette of the tank avoids exposition of the parts to enemy fire, which significantly enhances the safety and survivability of the crew. The hull is equipped with a modular armour system made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. The tank can also be fitted with secondary weapons including a Kord 12.7mm machine gun and a PKTM 7.62mm machine gun.

The 2A82 125mm gun can be replaced with a new 2A83 152mm gun in future. The main gun can also fire laser-guided missiles. The turret carries a total of 45 rounds of ammunition, including ready-to-use ammunition. The T-14 Armata is fitted with an unmanned turret mounting a 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore gun fed by an automatic loader. The tank measures 10.8m-long, 3.5m-wide and 3.3m-high, and has a combat weight of 48t. The roof of the turret houses a meteorological mast, satellite communications, global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), data-link and radio communications antennae.

Entry and exit are provided through three hatches in front of the hull. The driver sits in the left, gunner in the middle and commander in the right inside a special armoured capsule. The hull is divided into three compartments, a crew cab at forward, an unmanned remote controlled turret in the centre and a power-pack at the rear.

The T-14 Armata is based on a modular combat platform, which can also serve as a basis for other armoured variants such as heavy infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and armoured personnel carrier (APC).
