NBC Reconnaissance Veh (NBCRV) Sensor Suite

Abstract

This program upgrades the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite (NBCRVSS). The NBCRVSS is the Mission Equipment Package for the Stryker Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBCRV) and consists of chemical point detectors, a standoff chemical vapor detector, a biological point detector, a chemical vapor sampling system, and a sensor processing group. The NBCRVSS provides the Stryker NBCRV the ability to detect, identify, collect, report, and mark, Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Hazards. The NBCRVSS will explore transitioning mounted abilities to a dismounted environment. A Chemical Surface Detector (CSD) will be developed to replace the Dual Wheel Sampling System to increase maneuverability of the Stryker NBCRV and increase reliability, and Next Generation Chemical Detector Mounted (NGCD 3M) will replace the Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer Block II to increase sensitivity, number of chemicals in the library, and reliability. In FY18 the CSD program will deliver final prototype systems and complete chemical, environmental, and on the- move testing. The NGCD 3M will begin development of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase systems and deliver prototypes for testing.
