Flir will serve as the lead integrator in the modernisation of the US Army’s NBCRV system.

Under the $48.1m other transaction authority agreement (OTA), Flir Systems will develop an all-platform modular mission payload that integrates multiple chemical, biological and radiological sensors into a flexible command and control (C2) system.

The execution of the agreement will extend until mid-2022.

“We will provide a wide selection of capabilities in this manned and unmanned platform application to help customers achieve successful mission outcomes.”

The C2 system will allow for data integration from various sensors that will enable the automation of certain tasks and minimise troop responsibility.
