The French Naval Aviation operates various helicopters, dedicated to a large number of missions.
During the latest armed conflicts, light and armoured military vehicles were often targeted. These attacks stood as the first cause of casualties.
This field trial aims at validating the detection capability of a gas cloud 5km away from the Second Sight® MS.
In a world of ever-accelerating changes, the modern battlefield has become an extremely complex environment where situational awareness is key to accomplish strategic missions.
Nowadays, chemicals can be found anywhere in the form of toxic industrial components (TIC) and chemical warfare agents (CWA), and thus pose real risks to the environment and human health. During production, storage and transportation, the potential release and exposure to TIC is a hazard manufacturers are trying to avoid at all costs.
This White Paper thus compiles three of the main surveillance applications possible with this ultra compact optronic device whatever your aims and objectives are, CamSight LP can help you fulfil them all.
Environmental radiation monitoring networks fulfill a vital function, which is to ensure the health protection of individuals and the environment through the early detection of ionizing radiation of natural or anthropogenic origin, in the vicinity of facilities likely to release radionuclides, and more broadly throughout the national territory.
Nowadays, armored vehicles are facing more and more significant threats when they found themselves in asymmetrical or high intensity conflicts To reduce their vulnerability, those platforms must achieve maximum mobility and maintain continuous surveillance over their immediate environment, despite reduced visibility.
In an radiological emergency, the priority of quick response teams is protecting both the public and the personnel directly involved in the incident (either specialist and non specialist in radiological risk) in order to minimize the health impact upon the exposure to and contamination from ionizing radiations.
