WE WORK FOR VICTORY — NO MATTER WHAT

Protection against invisible threats

The brigade’s specialists work wherever contamination may be present. They carry out reconnaissance, take and document samples, decontaminate people and equipment, and give commanders a clear picture of the situation.

Detect

Handheld detectors, drones and mobile teams find and identify contamination quickly.

Sample

Every sample is sealed, tagged and documented so that results stand up to analysis.

Decontaminate

Shower lines and inflatable shelters clean personnel and equipment under field conditions.

Command

Maps, plume models and live drone video feed one shared operational picture.

What we do

Three capabilities show the brigade’s work from the ground to the air.

  • Radiation and contamination checks
  • Sealed, labeled sample packaging

  • Waste and runoff control

Drones and aerial sensing

Unmanned aircraft carry sensors over areas that are unsafe to enter, so crews can map a hazard before anyone walks in.

  • Sensor payloads on multirotor drones
  • Live video to the command post
  • Faster surveys with fewer people exposed
