Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS), built by Hamilton
Sundstrand, is a detection system for chemical warfare agents and biological
warfare agents. CBMS was originally developed by a team lead by Oak Ridge
National Laboratory.
MISSION
Performs nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC)
reconnaissance and locates, identifies, marks, samples, and reports NBC
contamination on the battlefield.
DESCRIPTION
The Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle
(NBCRV)- Stryker is the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)
reconnaissance configuration of the infantry carrier vehicle in Stryker Brigade
Combat Teams, Heavy Brigade Combat Teams, and chemical companies.
The NBCRV-Stryker Sensor Suite consists of a dedicated
system of CBRN detection, warning, and biological sampling equipment on a
Stryker vehicle (high speed, high mobility, armored carrier). The NBCRV detects
chemical, radiological, and biological contamination in its immediate
environment through the Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS), Automatic
Chemical Agent Detector Alarm (ACADA), AN/VDR-2 Radiac Detector, AN/UDR-13
Radiac Detector, Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS), and at a
distance, through the use of the Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical
Agent Detector (JSLSCAD). It automatically integrates contamination information
from detectors with input from onboard navigation and meteorological systems
and transmits digital NBC warning messages through the vehicle's command and
control equipment to warn follow-on forces. NBCRV can collect samples for
follow-on analysis.
