Name: | Nuclear/biological/chemical reconnaissance vehicle |
To counter the increasing threat of NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) warfare, the NBC Reconnaissance vehicle is essential on today’s battlefield. Excellent mobility and survivability have been accomplished by adopting armored tracked vehicle for maximizing combat effectiveness under an NBC environment. Prompt reporting to main troop is also major operational characteristics achieved by integrating automatic broadcasting system together with radio sets.
The NBC Reconnaissance vehicle consists of key components, such as a Mobile Mass spectrometer (MM-1),
a double wheel assembly unit, a vehicle weather observing system (VWOS), and a collective NBC protection system.
The Mobile Mass spectrometer (MM1) is capable of recognizing and identifying organic vapors and aerosols in the air as well as solid and liquid organic compounds on surfaces. A double wheel assembly is used for collecting specimens from the ground surface thereby making it possible to complete detection's while the vehicle is moving.
Collective NBC protection is achieved by integrating the vehicular overpressure system, which has a dual function of purifying the air and inducing higher pressure than the atmosphere to the crew to crew compartment.
