Challenge

We faced a formidable task at MRIGlobal: develop a custom command and control system for the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) within a tight timeframe of less than four months. The system needed to interface seamlessly with six diverse Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) sensors on both the NBCRV and an associated unmanned ground vehicle.

Goal

Our goal was to create OASIS, an open architecture software system allowing for adaptable integration of CBRN sensors. This system was designed to enhance operational efficiency by providing an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI was aimed at centralizing sensor status observation, enabling effective threat triangulation, and facilitating rapid response through advanced features like Named-Areas-of-Interest (NAI) scanning and UAV deployment.

Result

The result was a highly successful integration of the OASIS system, recognized for its excellence by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND). Our team not only met the challenging deadline but also supported numerous field demonstrations, showcasing the NBCRV’s capabilities in real-world scenarios like the Joint Warfighter Assessment 2019. Moving forward, we continue to lead software integration in collaboration with FLIR Systems, Inc., setting new standards in CBRN defense technology.
