CBRN Threat Detection & Monitoring

Bertin Environics develops, designs, and supplies integrated solutions for full CBRN situational awareness. These CBRN safety solutions aim for monitoring and detecting chemical, biological, and radiological threats, and are in use by military and safeguarding organizations in over 70 countries, including nearly all NATO member states.

A Seasoned & Innovative Team of CBRN Experts

Bertin Environics team counts with approximately 60 staff members, ranging from Management, Sales, Administration, Research & Development, Purchasing, Production, etc. Most of our highly skilled and competent CBRN experts and technical specialists have been in this industry for decades and have proven experience in the implementation of CBRN projects, and their demanding specifications.

However, Bertin Environics aims at keeping a unique innovative perspective on the CBRN business, that results from a melting pot of different – yet acknowledged – educational backgrounds, applying and combining their expertise towards one same common goal: improving CBRN safety globally, and ultimately, safe lives.

IMS a Solid Chemical Detection Technology

Bertin Environics uses a proven and tested orthogonal sensor for chemical detection on its solutions against chemical threats and hazards that can emerge from intentional or accidental releases of chemical warfare agents (CWA) or toxic industrial chemicals (TIC). This orthogonal method consists of: miniaturized IMS sensor and semiconductor/MOS sensors. Data from these sensors is rapidly integrated which leads to real-time reporting of hazard information. The ion mobility cell, patented by Bertin Environics, is a modified aspiration type IMS. The IMS spectral fingerprints are measured with multiple electric fields and selectivity is based on the mass, cross-sectional area and charge of the ion i.e. ion mobility. Airflow through the cell is continuous.

Research and development programs are run on a continuous basis ensuring the technology’s state-of-the-art condition and field suitability.

Handheld/Portable CBRN Solutions

Bertin Environics’ roots are deep in the field of chemical detection and its most well-known product is ChemProX, an early-warning handheld chemical detector for CWA and TIC detection and classification. ChemProX is suitable for first responders and military users as it features a military grade rugged design and it is tested against MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F in applicable parts. Its unique market features comprise a in-built training mode, trend line display and a secured in-built communication capability to automatically share information with the team.

Bertin Environics also provides ENVI Assay System biodefence tests for provisional identification of biological warfare agents such as Ricin Toxin, SEB, Botulinum Toxin, Anthrax, Pox, Tularemia, and Plague.

As for the radiological side, Bertin Environics supplies SaphyRAD MS, a handheld multiprobe survey meter for radiation contamination detection and exposure monitoring. Its comprehensive range of probes allows for the detection of gamma, alpha, beta, neutron and X radiation, as well as gamma identification.

CBRN System Solutions

The full CBRN early warning system solution for mobile platforms such as Armoured Vehicles or Vessels from Bertin Environics makes integration to BMS/IPMS effortless.

It is a versatile CBRN detection and monitoring solution which connectivity can function both as a one connection point and a one communications protocol, or with added redundancy for failure prevention and data reliability.

Whether it is a vehicle system with just a single ChemProX-DS – detection system compatible chemical detector – handling communications to the Battle Management System or a naval system with multiple ChemProX-DSs communicating to the Integrated Platform Management System you get a simple single point integrated solution for all your CBRN sensors connected to the ChemProX-DS.
