Bertin Instruments: FusionSight
FusionSight is a world-first digital night and day vision device launched in 2016, that provides smart fusion for an accurate detection of threats and targets.
Bertin Instruments, a brand of CNIM Group, has been a key player in the field of industrial innovation for more than 60 years.
Bertin Instruments, a brand of CNIM Group, has been a key player in the field of industrial innovation for more than 60 years. Thanks to a unique, multidisciplinary expertise, Bertin Instruments develops leading-edge products and systems to meet the operational needs of the most demanding sectors, including defence and security.
The brand’s offer mainly focuses on three ranges of products: equipment for optronic surveillance and reconnaissance, solutions for the detection and identification of all Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats, as well as Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) platforms.
The Second Sight MS is a remote gas cloud detector for real time detection, visualisation and identification of chemical threats, at a maximum distance of 5km.
With its infrared sensor and database of 50 different gases, the Second Sight MS detects, identifies and measure the concentration of gases such as Toxic Industrial Components (TIC) and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA). It also offers a unique gas-X feature to detect unknown, impure or mixed gas.
Perfectly adapted to both fixed and mobile surveillance, the camera can be deployed to monitor industrial facilities and major events, or be integrated into CBRN reconnaissance vehicles to support the Armed Forces and first responders in their delicate missions.
The Coriolis Compact is a dry cyclonic air sampler for microbial air monitoring and biocontamination control. As a lightweight and portable device, it can easily be used with a CBRNe personal protective equipment, as well as be moved to strategic places for indoor or outdoor samplings. Rugged and compact, the air sampler is also ideally suited for the Armed Forces and civil security organisations’ operational requirements, in case of potential or ascertained biological threats.
Developed under contract with the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA), the SaphyRAD MS is a multiprobe survey meter specially designed for security operations to be conducted by the Armed Forces, HAZardous MATerials teams and emergency units. Thanks to a comprehensive range of smart probes, this versatile device can be used for dose and dose rate monitoring, as well as radiation contamination detection (Alpha, Beta, Gamma and X).
Its ergonomic and ruggedised design have been specifically developed for use with CBRNe personal protection equipment (LCD display, large buttons, impact-resistant housing) under harsh operational conditions. The SaphyRAD MS also includes an embedded simulation tool for training without radioactive sources.
The FusionSight is a digital night and day vision enhancer providing smart fusion for threat and target accurate detection and tracking, during short or long lasting surveillance missions. This all-in-one device combines three viewing modes – colour low light, thermal and smart fusion.
Especially adapted to military requirements, it offers considerable visual support to the user thanks to a colour imaging sensor and a high-resolution thermal sensor which is able to detect human presence in any night conditions.
CamSight are Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) camera modules being available in 3 versions: Infrared (CamSight IR), low power infrared (CamSight LP), and low light level (CamSight LL). Extremely compact, these rugged and lightweight modules can be integrated into the heart of any complex optronic system, and hence be precious assets for any surveillance application under poor visual conditions.
Easy-to-install and to operate, the CamSight modules are particularly intended for manufacturers and integrators to equip Unmanned Aerial or Ground Vehicles, Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) systems, etc. and enhance the operators’ surveillance capabilities and local situational awareness.
Based on a distributed sensor network, the PeriSight is a scalable, optronic solution for Driver Vision Enhancement (DVE) and Local Situational Awareness (LSA). Compliant with military standards, it consists in 2 or more camera modules spread over the platform according to an optimised configuration adapted to the user’s needs and the vehicle type. It can adapt to any type of armored vehicle.
Flexnet is a comprehensive protection and surveillance solution based on Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) operating over a self-healing Mesh radio network. This scalable, easy-to-deploy platform allows for remote detection, classification and identification of any threat on the ground, over broad zones and without dedicated infrastructures.
FusionSight is a world-first digital night and day vision device launched in 2016, that provides smart fusion for an accurate detection of threats and targets.
PeriSight is a night and day vision enhancer for vehicle, using a network of imaging sensor modules to obtain multiple viewing channels, color low light and thermal.
Fighting terrorism has become an absolute priority for homeland and border security, especially radiological and nuclear threats.
The Second Sight MS is a passive, long-range chemical and toxic gas cloud detector for real-time surveillance and source localisation.
Bertin Instruments, through Saphymo’s expertise, offers a broad range of sensors and turnkey network solutions to monitor radiation in the environment, including gamma dose rate measurement, spectroscopic analysis and air monitoring.
FusionSight is the first digital Night & Day Vision Device for threat and target detection. Developed in partnership with Photonis, this compact monocular combines a low light full-color image sensor and a thermal image sensor in a smart fusion mode.
PeriSight is a network of imaging sensor modules offering multiple viewing channels (colour low light, thermal) and providing night and day 360° surveillance in a short range to enhance land situation awareness and driver vision.
Second Sight MS is the only standoff gas detector for real-time surveillance & source localisation. It's the perfect solution for critical area surveillance and protection against chemical threats (Chemical Warfare Agent, Toxic Industrial Compounds).
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.
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.
During the latest armed conflicts, light and armoured military vehicles were often targeted. These attacks stood as the first cause of casualties.
The French Naval Aviation operates various helicopters, dedicated to a large number of missions.
This field trial aims at validating the detection capability of a gas cloud 5km away from the Second Sight® MS.
When conducting military, reconnaissance, or search & rescue missions, a vehicle’s driver & crew need to control their safety & detect potential threats, obstacles, & objects of interest, even in the harshest operational conditions.
26 June 2020Bertin has developed the new multiprobe military survey meter (with the expertise of Saphymo*) under a contract awarded by the French Defense Procurement Agency. This latest generation portable monitor is designed to detect and measure radioactivity in harsh environment. Two years of research and development led to the launch of the SaphyRAD MS (also called DOM 420 by the French Army).
6 August 2018Dedicated to integrators for land and maritime applications, the PeriSight Zoom is a high-performance integrated optronic solution, designed for vision from armoured vehicles and site surveillance.
30 July 2018Targeting integrators and vehicle manufacturers, CamSight are integrated core camera modules inside complex optronic systems. They are based on FusionSight’s (monocular for day and night vision) and PeriSight’s (perimeter vision system) optronics technology.
