Teledyne FLIR is the lead integrator in modernizing the Army’s NBCRV system with improved and autonomous chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) sensors. The company had earlier delivered initial Sensor Suite upgrade prototypes for government testing. Successful test results led to it being awarded this production contract.

Among other third-party solutions, the NBCRV Sensor Suite will feature capabilities of the FLIR Defense R80D SkyRaider™ drone integrated with FLIR’s MUVE™ B330 biological detection payload designed for small unmanned aerial systems. Also, a FLIR-developed command and control system integrates all devices and platforms with sensor fusion and automation features that lessen the cognitive burden on users and improve decision-making.

“The advanced sensor capabilities on NBCRV will help protect our troops from weapons of mass destruction and enhance mission success on future battlefields,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “We’re honored to continue our work with the Army, leveraging our UAS platforms and remote sensing solutions to deliver the NBCRV Sensor Suite.”

Work on the NBCRV program is expected to continue through 2029 at company facilities in Stillwater, Okla.; Elkridge, Md; and Tucson, Ariz. For more on Teledyne FLIR’s CBRN and explosive detection technologies, visit here.
