What is the X-System for Naval & Maritime CBRN Monitoring and what threats does it detect?

The X-System is Bertin Environics’ integrated naval CBRN monitoring solution that delivers fast, reliable early-warning of chemical, biological and radiological threats so ship crews have time to protect personnel and the vessel. It combines chemical (e.g., ChemProX-DS ), biological ( ENVI BioScout ) and radiological detectors ( RanidX ) with situational-awareness software ( EnviScreen ) to provide full naval CBRN protection.

How is the X-System architecture designed for ships and how does it reduce cabling and increase redundancy?

The X-System uses a modular, scalable architecture where ChemProX-DS units can act as master nodes and radiation/biological detectors connect locally to the nearest chemical detector. This topology minimizes cabling by enabling local connections, and increases redundancy.

Which vessel types and deployment points does the Naval & Maritime CBRN Monitoring solution support?

The solution is scalable to a wide range of vessel types including destroyers, frigates, corvettes, OPVs, mine countermeasure vessels, patrol/coast guard vessels, fleet tankers, landing platforms and pollution-control or firefighting vessels. Typical deployment includes external measuring points on port, starboard and mast, internal measuring points for protecting bridge and citadels, and an in-water radiation detection point for holistic ship protection.

What standards and practical benefits should navies expect from Bertin Environics’ X-System?

The X-System is built from COTS products for flexible design and is IACS UR E10 compliant. Practical benefits comprise optimized communications with minimized cabling, increased system redundancy, situational-awareness software integration, and backing from nearly 40 years of CBRN expertise, delivering IACS compliant/compatible, maintainable and proven solutions for effective naval and maritime protection.

Which Bertin Environics products and software are part of the Naval & Maritime CBRN Monitoring solution?

The key components and product families used in naval systems are: ChemProX-DS (chemical detection), ENVI BioScout (biological detection), RanidX (radiological detection) and the EnviScreen system software for CBRN situational awareness and guidance. Together they form an integrated solution, the X-System. It is recommended to also include portable capability in naval CBRN detection. This capability can easily be added with ChemProX CBRN Kit .
