"There is a trend developing within the CBRN area for countries to move away from stand-alone solutions to properly integrated CBRN systems and vehicles."

Operated from fixed locations, carried by personnel or mounted on vehicles, the system enables the operator to make fast and accurate decisions, which is said to be a key factor in limiting exposure to CBRN threats.

According to the company, the system can automatically transition from a stationary system to the mobile, tactical system with round-the-clock operations, when activated by a CBRN situation.

The mobile units include pressure-protected light vehicles, which display the full picture from data collected from the AWR system on Saab´s rugged hardware.

The vehicles are also said to be camouflaged and protected with Barracuda’s HTR system for heat reduction.
