Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) Sensor Suite

Abstract

The Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicles (NBCRV) Sensor Suite Upgrade (SSU) provides maneuver formations the ability to conduct mounted reconnaissance and surveillance missions of CBRN named areas of interest (NAIs). The NBCRV SSU will answer the commander's priority intelligence requirements (PIR), and facilitate proactive risk-based decisions to ensure freedom of action and survivability. A modern and capable NBCRV SSU is a critical component for Joint Force success when operating in the complex CBRN environment. Operating with combat vehicles fighting against increasingly capable and determined enemies requires like capability with regard to protection, mobility, and lethality. The NBCRV SSU will accomplish this by integrating the capability for command and control of unmanned systems with CBRN payload. The NBCRV SSU will provide a CBRN detection, tipping and queueing to accomplish desired standoff distances to keep the warfighter out of harm's way and reduce sustainment costs over the current system. A Chemical Surface Detector (CSD) will be developed to replace the Dual Wheel Sampling System to increase maneuver speed when conducting NBC missions and increase reliability.
