The Stryker NBCRV is a version of the Stryker ICV that is set up for detection and identification of nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare contaminants. The vehicle is equipped with a Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer Block II, which uses a probe and double-wheel sampling system to detect and identify ground chemical agents; joint biological point detection system to detect and identify biological warfare agents; joint service light-weight stand-off chemical agent detector to identify up to 11 agent vapors when performing point or area surveillance; AN/VDR-2 and AN/UDR-13 Radiac sets to detect and quantify alpha, beta, gamma, or neutron radiation; METSMAN meteorological system to measure wind speed and direction and ambient temperature, humidity, and pressure; and and a chemical vapor sampling system to collect vapor samples for later laboratory analysis. The vehicle is fitted with a climate control and overpressure system that allows the crew to work inside without having to wear protective gear.
