Context
This field trial aims at validating the detection capability of a gas cloud 5 km away from the Second Sight® MS. All leading military armies involved in standoff detection are considering this distance as a must-have capability to increase the chemical threat site surveillance. Being able to give an early warning with a threat at 5 km gives enough time for apply preventive measure with adequate protection.
To achieve the test, the Second Sight® has been positioned to have a line of sight view on the release point. The deployment is taking less than 5 minutes to set up out of the box and start surveillance. The Second Sight® is battery operated and equipped with a 12° lens to increase the optical sensibility. The gas used for this trial is the sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
