The Army has fielded the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle, the latest variant to the Stryker vehicle series.
Soldiers from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Lewis, Wash., received the first three NBCRV Strykers in February, according to an Army press release.
The NBCRV is designed to locate, mark and report NBC contamination on the battlefield. It can detect and collect contaminated material on the move and automatically transmit digital NBC warning messages to warn follow-on forces.
The NBCRV vehicle is the ninth Stryker variant to be added to the Army inventory.
