The US Army awarded Teledyne FLIR Defense $48 million to supply Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite Upgrades for 10 Bulgarian Stryker vehicles through Foreign Military Sales. The package combines vehicle sensors with the R80D SkyRaider drone and MUVE B330 biological detection payload to collect hazard information at a distance from the crew. A command-and-control system integrates onboard and airborne sensor inputs to support chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear reconnaissance. Work will continue through 2028 at US facilities, with final sensor integration performed in Bulgaria after the vehicles arrive.
