24) MMPRDS

Abstract

The Mounted Manned Platform Radiological Detection System (MMPRDS) provides advanced platform-mounted radiological/nuclear (RN) crew monitoring/detection, reconnaissance, and surveillance for multiple manned and unmanned U.S. Army ground and rotary wing vehicles. The system, which can also be integrated into fixed site sensor payloads, provides both point (VIPER prototype) and standoff (MERLIN prototype) RN detection capabilities that replace AN/UDR-13 and AN/VDR-2 systems. Funding supports advanced development of MERLIN and VIPER prototypes for integration onto the Stryker NBCRV and medium-sized unmanned ground platforms. VIPER will also be integrated into the M1A2, Bradley, Black Hawk, and other major U.S. Army platforms (for point detection).
