A group of companies from the French Defence Industrial and Technological Base (BITD) has unveiled, in an unprecedented demonstration, a mobile, embedded CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) reconnaissance system. In today’s context of high-intensity conflicts and evolving threats, this project showcases the ability of industrial players to innovate and cooperate to meet new operational requirements.

Remote CBRN Reconnaissance Combining Embedded and Dismounted Capabilities

This solution brings together all the expertise needed for CBRN reconnaissance missions—detection, sampling, identification, marking, analysis, and surveillance. The Proengin Shield system aggregates these capabilities with the performance of land and air multi-mission platforms.

The system combines the complementary expertise of leading international technology providers:

• Project management and integration of the system by KNDS CBRN with the Centurio heavy robot and Nerva microrobot from KNDS France Robotics

• The Tundra 2 drone from Hexadrone equipped with a SPIR-Explorer radiological probe from Mirion Technologies

• The AP4B biological detector integrated with SASS 3100 of Research International, and the AP4C-V chemical detector from Proengin

• The TDH (Threat Detection Hub) integration unit and Proengin Shield system from Proengin

• The MultisensorBox 8500 chemical detector from Dräger

• The SVLD and Radiac LLR radiological detectors from Mirion Technologies

A Unique Value Proposition for the Forces

Instead of using closed systems, Proengin is changing how CBRN reconnaissance missions are done by creating an open system that lets users combine the best available technologies without being tied to one manufacturer, which improves how efficiently they can operate.

With the TDH and Proengin Shield, all detection data are received and consolidated in real time. Operators gain an instant threat map and an accurate remote view of mission progress, delivering greater safety and performance in the field.

A Collective Innovation Transforming the CBRN Industry

Born from the collaboration of several expert industrial players, this turnkey solution paves the way for enhanced protection and reconnaissance capabilities. Its open, modular architecture offers customized, scalable, and adaptable solutions focused on performance in the field. This partnership demonstrates the synergy, responsiveness, and flexibility of the participating companies.
