U.S. Army requests $13.9M in FY2027 — the program's peak, with nothing planned by FY2031. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. FLIR leads the industry work.

The Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade (NBCRV SSU) will modernize Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) components of the current Stryker NBCRV Sensor Suite to increase maintainability, reliability, maneuverability of the force, and standoff distance from the threats. NBCRV SSU enhances CBRN standoff capabilities and integrates onto robotic platforms for human machine integration (HMI), optimizing the Stryker NBCRV maneuver formations ability to conduct mounted CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance. NBCRV SSU benefits the warfighter with increased standoff capabilities and reliability, reducing risk to force and mission; and by providing decision quality data to answer the Commander's priority intelligence requirements to facilitate risk-based decisions, ensuring freedom of action and maintaining maneuver momentum in large scale combat operations. NBCRV SSU received an updated acquisition strategy on 07 April 2025 that aligned to support current Army Priorities resulting in transfer of funding to a new funding line (CBRN Reconnaissance Modular Mission Payload, CRMMP) in FY2028 and beyond. The CRMMP Program will utilize NBCRV SSU Capability Set 2.2 (CS2.2) FY 2027 RDTE funds in the amount of $13.864 million to complete development and integration of CRMMP Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) assets. Continue sensor level developmental and operational testing and initiate system level developmental testing.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrade (NBCRV SSU) will modernize Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) components of the current Stryker NBCRV Sensor Suite to increase maintainability, reliability, maneuverability of the force, and standoff distance from the threats. NBCRV SSU enhances CBRN standoff capabilities and integrates onto robotic platforms for human machine integration (HMI), optimizing the Stryker NBCRV maneuver formations ability to conduct mounted CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance.

NBCRV SSU awarded a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based contract 13 February 2025 to deliver CBRN Reconnaissance Modular Mission Payload (CRMMP) (formerly Capability Set 2.2 (CS2.2)) Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) assets, to support and complete necessary Developmental Testing/Operational Testing (DT/OT). NBCRV SSU received an updated acquisition strategy on 07 April 2025 that aligned to support current Army Priorities resulting in transfer of funding to CRMMP in FY 2027 and beyond. The CS2.2 contract was modified to deliver CRMMP LRIP assets instead of CS2.2 assets by leveraging the same sensors.
