Piranha 3 CBRN

The Piranha 3 CBRN is a Chemical, Bacteriological, Radiological and Nuclear reconnaissance vehicle developed between General Dynamics European Land Systems and Thales based on the Piranha 3 6x6 armored vehicle. This high mobility and highly protected vehicle is equipped with navigation equipment to monitor large areas and mark contaminated zones. Its nuclear segment contains detection probes, and a particle monitor and a telescopic arm measure radiation on the ground. The double-wheel sampling system makes it possible for chemical ground contamination to be detected while on-the-move. Deeper chemical analysis with mass spectrometry and a gas chromatograph can be performed while driving through rough terrain. The Swiss Army has ordered a first batch of 12 Piranha 3 CBRN vehicles. The first vehicle was showcased at the Eurosatory 2012 exhibition in Paris, France. This first-to-deploy CBRN recce vehicle also contains a biological aerosol detector and collector. The Piranha 3 user-friendly CBRN management software controls the sensors and supports operators during missions. In the sophisticated, protected backend all sorts of manual samples can be taken and transferred to a cooling compartment and handed over for further external analysis.
