Among other third-party solutions, the Sensor Suite features 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 combines all devices and platforms with sensor fusion and automation features that reduce cognitive burden and improve decision-making. Last year, the company delivered initial Sensor Suite upgrade prototypes for government testing, and successful results led to a $168 million production award in November. This new contract calls for FLIR Defense to develop an expanded Sensor Suite upgrade design (Capability Set 2.2), deliver six prototypes, and provide added support for government testing. Among its many improvements, the upgrade will include advanced sensing capabilities, autonomous SkyRaider flight control, and hazard prediction software upgrades. 'By continuing to enhance sensor capabilities on NBCRV, we can help ensure future warriors will be ready to detect and respond effectively to a wide range of deadly agents,' said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense. 'We're proud to expand our support on this vital U.S. Army program and to know that our drone, remote sensing, and integrated solutions are playing a major role to improve standoff and situational awareness.'
