Context
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.
On the other hand, the discharge of CWA is meant to kill, injure or incapacitate unarmed civilian and must be anticipated, monitored, and responded to immediately.
To defend against chemical attacks and to give early warning of intended disasters, furthering a nation’s defensive capabilities against both criminals and terrorists seems to be an increasing necessity to guarantee the protection of critical assets. To better anticipate and monitor any chemical threat, Bertin Instruments has developed Second Sight® MS, to detect gas clouds remotely. Convinced of the latter’s proven capabilities, our partner in the Middle-East introduced it to a local National Guard to support the protection of major governmental events (political meetings, diplomatic and intergovernmental summits, etc.).
