CBRN Dismounted Reconnaissance System Reaches FOC

By JPEO-CBRND Public Affairs

The Joint Project Manager for CBRN Sensors team completed fielding of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal variant of our CBRN Dismounted Reconnaissance System (CBRN DRS) to the U.S. Army in October 2024. The CBRN DRS provides detection, decontamination, and protective equipment for CBRN reconnaissance missions in difficult-to-access areas.

The CBRN DRS is designed to support operational and medical decision making by characterizing, through detection, identification and quantification of chemical hazards on surfaces, in liquids, and in the air. The CBRN DRS product consists of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and established government equipment providing detection, decontamination, and protective equipment for CBRN reconnaissance, surveillance, and assessment of sites that are inaccessible by mounted reconnaissance platforms. The EOD variant is one of 11 variants comprising the CBRN DRS product line.
