Nothing off the radar: Malaysia’s army to deploy mobile CBRNE command centre in 2027 as AI upgrades its threat‑response readiness
Malaysia's army plans to deploy a mobile CBRNE command centre by 2027, equipped with AI-powered threat prediction software to enhance its response to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives threats. The Malaysian Armed Forces is also exploring the use of drones for reconnaissance missions and conducting joint trainings with foreign counterparts.
The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) is set to receive a 4x4 mobile CBRNE command centre by 2027, equipped with AI-powered threat prediction software from Finland. The software can detect CBRNE threats, predict the exposure radius, and respond in seconds. The MAF currently has three 8x8 Armoured Engineer Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicles in deployment. Brigadier-General Sharuddin Mohd Noh stated that AI could enhance traditional threats into more sophisticated ones, but also strengthen the MAF's capabilities to protect and respond. The MAF is also exploring the use of drones for reconnaissance missions and conducts annual joint trainings with foreign counterparts, such as Canada, under Exercise Mantis. Malaysia also engages in knowledge-exchange programmes with the US and Australian Armed Forces on early detection technology and best practices.
