CBRN threats are evolving fast, and modern operations demand faster, smarter, and safer solutions. Whether on the battlefield, at sea, inside armored vehicles, or along national borders, forces face unpredictable chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear dangers. The key to survival and mission success lies in gaining time — detecting threats early and from a distance.
At Bertin Environics, we’ve built our CBRN detection systems to meet that challenge head-on. We’ve combined decades of experience with frontline feedback to deliver tools that provide early warning, real-time data, and flexible deployment options. Last month, our team of experts got together for a big scale strategy discussion comprising all our applications for maximum results. The current global geopolitics situation has proven that, more than ever, the CBRN threat is real, and we need to ensure our CBRN detection and monitoring solutions face the market demands.

This white paper summarizes the outcome of a proficous discussion conducted by Jason Algarin, Business Development Manager Naval Systems & South America, featuring some of our seasoned key-players on the front line of our CBRN solutions development: CBRN Application Manager for Armoured and Shelter Systems Petri Karhulas, CBRN Application Manager for Naval & Maritime Systems Arto Penttinen, and Application Manager for Handheld Chemical Detectors Teemu Partanen.
Whether you’re guarding a checkpoint, deploying from a boat, flying a drone, or driving into the unknown, our tools are built to protect and inform. They help forces gain control in chaotic situations, reduce exposure to threats, and respond with confidence. Whether your mission is border protection, base defense, shipboard safety, or battlefield detection, we stand ready with solutions that meet your needs today — and evolve with your missions tomorrow.
The idea of force protection at the edge with early – warning detection is fascinating. I wonder how well it can adapt to different environmental conditions.
Thank you for your question — that’s a great point. Our early-warning CBRN detection systems are built to operate reliably in a wide range of environmental conditions, from desert heat and maritime humidity to freezing arctic temperatures. Each sensor, such as the ChemProX for chemical detection, ENVI BioScout for biological threats, and RanidX or SaphyRAD MS for radiation, is tested to military environmental standards (MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461).
They’ve been successfully deployed on land, sea, and air platforms — including armored vehicles, naval vessels, and unmanned systems — proving their performance under harsh and variable conditions. The systems automatically adapt to local temperature, humidity, and background radiation or particle levels to maintain detection accuracy and reduce false alarms.
In short, whether at a desert outpost or a coastal patrol vessel, our force-protection solutions are designed to stay alert when it matters most.
