Blending the new technology with SkyRaider\u2019s existing capabilities will allow soldiers to complete these missions without directly controlling the drone \u2013 and without exposing themselves to toxic substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teledyne FLIR also will design and build prototype chemical and radiological sensor payloads for the R80D SkyRaider, as well as integrate existing detectors in the U.S. Army\u2019s inventory. This effort builds on three years of investment by several joint program offices to develop new and improved UAS capabilities for CBRN missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor many good reasons, militaries are shifting their CBRN defense strategy from manned to unmanned platforms,\u201d said Dr. David Cullin, vice president of technology and product management at Teledyne FLIR Defense. \u201cEmploying unmanned air and ground assets to assess risks from weapons of mass destruction is an increasingly sought-after capability. We\u2019ll continue our customers\u2019 important work to enhance situational awareness for mounted and dismounted operations, enabling greater maneuverability on future CBRN-contested battlefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis project also complements our existing portfolio of CBRN sensing drone payloads \u2013 the MUVE&#x2122; C360, MUVE B330, and MUVE R430 \u2013 all of which allow users to remotely detect and identify a broad spectrum of potentially lethal threats,\u201d Cullin added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the autonomous SkyRaider and the new sensor payloads will be designed to operate with the command and control user interface for the U.S. Army\u2019s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) Stryker platform, for which Teledyne FLIR Defense is the prime systems integrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the base contract, Teledyne FLIR will deliver four SkyRaiders and six of each sensor payload, with options to support training, documentation, plus the delivery of additional UAS and payloads. The award was made through the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense; Joint Product Manager for Reconnaissance and Platform Integration (JPdM RPI); and the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Sensor Integration on Robotics Platforms Program Office (CSIRP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initial deliveries are scheduled for fall 2023. The contract period of performance is 33 months, if all options are exercised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flir.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.flir.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, announced that it has been awarded a $13.3 million contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to further expand the capabilities of its R80D [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":50241,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1063,1136,795,1232],"class_list":["post-50240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automation-robotics","tag-autonomous","tag-defense-technology","tag-drones","tag-military"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Teledyne FLIR Defense to expand the autonomous capabilites of R80D SkyRaider&#x2122;
