Teledyne FLIR Secures $168M Contract for U.S. Army's Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Program

A Critical Investment in CBRN Detection and Protection

Teledyne FLIR Defense, a leading provider of advanced sensor technologies, has been awarded a $168 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support the U.S. Army's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) program. This contract marks a significant milestone in strengthening the Army's capabilities to detect and respond to CBRN threats on the battlefield.

Enhanced CBRN Reconnaissance Capabilities

The NBCRV program aims to equip the U.S. Army with next-generation vehicles specifically designed for CBRN reconnaissance missions. These vehicles will be equipped with Teledyne FLIR's advanced sensor systems, including chemical and biological detectors, radiation detectors, and meteorological sensors. The integrated systems will provide real-time data collection, analysis, and reporting, enabling soldiers to rapidly identify and assess CBRN hazards.

A Comprehensive Approach to CBRN Detection

Teledyne FLIR's CBRN detection systems are renowned for their accuracy, reliability, and speed. The company's chemical and biological detectors utilize a combination of technologies, including ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to identify a wide range of chemical and biological agents. Radiation detectors employ scintillation and semiconductor technologies to measure radiation levels and provide early warning of potential threats.

Protecting Soldiers from CBRN Threats

The NBCRV program is a crucial element in protecting soldiers from CBRN warfare. By equipping the Army with advanced reconnaissance vehicles, soldiers will be able to detect and avoid hazardous areas, reducing the risk of exposure to chemical, biological, or radiological agents. The real-time data provided by the sensors will also facilitate informed decision-making, allowing commanders to swiftly implement appropriate countermeasures and protective measures.

A Strategic Partnership for National Security

The award of this IDIQ contract solidifies the partnership between Teledyne FLIR Defense and the U.S. Army. Teledyne FLIR's expertise in CBRN detection and protection technologies, combined with the Army's operational requirements, will result in a cutting-edge CBRN reconnaissance system that will enhance the safety and effectiveness of soldiers on the battlefield. The contract also reflects the company's commitment to supporting the U.S. military's mission to protect national security and respond to emerging threats.
