The U.S. military is equipped with an advanced nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance vehicle, called the Stryker nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance vehicle, which is a modification of a wheeled armored combat vehicle, capable of performing nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance, identification, marking, sampling and reporting tasks on the battlefield to deal with the threat of nuclear, biological and chemical **. It can automatically collect and transmit information about nuclear, biological and chemical contaminated areas so that follow-up forces can take corresponding protective measures, and can also provide samples for further analysis work.
The Stryker nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance vehicle has excellent performance, with a maximum speed of 62 kilometers per hour and a combat radius of about 5165 km. It uses the latest U.S. C4ISR system and nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance equipment, which can effectively detect and identify a variety of chemical and biological warfare agents, including neurological, bloody, erosive and asphyxiating agents, as well as biological agents such as anthrax and plague. It is also equipped with a joint light long-range chemical agent detector of the three services, which can detect poisons within 5 kilometers and within a range of 360 degrees during maneuvering.
The Stryker Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle consists of a vehicle and a crew of 4 people, and has different formations depending on the type of troops. The Stryker Brigade combat unit is equipped with a platoon of 3 vehicle groups, the heavy brigade combat unit is equipped with a squad of 2 vehicle groups, and the division or military chemical company is equipped with 6 vehicle groups.
The Stryker nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with a variety of anti-chemical equipment, mainly of the following types:
Climate control system and overpressure system: These two systems create a closed environment in the vehicle, filter and circulate air, and provide nuclear, biological and chemical protection and life support for the occupants.
Chemical Agent Automatic Detection Alarm: This is a spot sampling chemical agent alarm system that can detect chemical warfare agents in real time and provide visual and audible alarm signals as well as remote alarms. It can be deployed on-board, on the back, or statically, or as part of a mobile or static network.
Chemistry Mass Spectrometer: This is an integrated system capable of detecting and identifying chemical and biological agents, using an ion trap mass spectrometer as the core, which can quickly and automatically identify known and unknown chemical and biological agents, and is connected to the ground wheel heating probe system on the reconnaissance vehicle to sample liquid chemical agents on the ground.
Joint Biological Point Source Detection System: This is a system that can provide rapid and fully automatic detection, identification, alarm, and separation of high-risk biological warfare agent samples, and is the first joint biological warfare agent detection system. It can be installed on ships or on-board service platforms, can identify 10 biological warfare agents at the same time, and can collect liquid samples for verification analysis and identification.
Two-wheel sampler: This is a sampler that is mounted at the rear of the vehicle and is operated by the occupants of the vehicle. It is capable of moving on the soil surface with one wheel being detected by a sensor and then analysing the sample using the appropriate analytical techniques, or it can attach a gripper arm to pick up a potentially contaminated soil sample. If the wheels are contaminated, there are spare wheels to replace.
AN VDR-2 Radiation Detector: This is a radiation detector suitable for tactical and non-tactical protection, which is easy to operate, rugged, lightweight, with good performance and reliability, and has become the first choice for infantry. It is compatible with all military ground vehicles and operational use and is easy to fit into aircraft and combat vehicles. The detection probe is installed on the ground vehicle or outside, and the AN VDR-2 radiation detector in the vehicle (or machine) is connected by a wire to provide complete radiation detection.
AN UDR-13 Radiation Detector: This is a small and lightweight military pocket radiation detector, which is basically similar to the function of the AN VDR-2 radiation detector, mainly for field personnel, and is also suitable for vehicle-mounted or airborne use.
Metsman Weather Sensor: This is a system used to monitor ground weather information in real time, including main battle tank fire control systems, nuclear, biological and chemical disaster systems, multiple launch rocket systems, etc. It has the ability to measure wind speed and direction while traveling, can provide the required meteorological information in real time, and display the measured various meteorological parameters on the computer.
21st Century Brigade and Brigade Operational Command System: This is a combat command system integrated into vehicles and aircraft, which uses the network to provide timely and relevant operational command information to brigade commanders and soldiers. It provides real-time battlefield posture by automatically disseminating friendly positions, reporting enemy positions, and visualizing commanders' intentions and maneuver plans.
