Second Sight MS
Second Sight MS is the only standoff gas cloud detector for real time surveillance and with source localization.
The Second Sight MS is a passive, long range chemical and toxic gas clouds detector that is ideally suited to military and civil security operations due to its compact, lightweight and modular design. It has been designed for early warning and real time visualization of suspicious gas clouds. With its infrared sensor, it shows as an overlay localization of dangerous gases such as toxic industrial gases or chemical warfare agents (nerve gases or vesicants). Second Sight can identify the family of the gas and measure its pathlength concentration.
With the gas X unique feature, it also detects even gas that are not in the database, ideal when gases are impure, mixed or unknown. With a night and day infrared imaging capability and the largest Field of View (FOV) of any stand-off detector on the market, this tried and tested system is a clear favorite with militaries, law enforcement and emergency responders around the world.

Each gas has its own absorption spectrum and presents typical absorption peaks in infra-red bands II (3 to 5 µm MWIR) and bands III (8 to 14 µm LWIR). Second Sight operates in band III, in order to use the particular peaks to enables the identification of a vast majority of gas.The Second Sight measurement principle uses the scene background as an infra-red source, and image processing algorithms to highlight the presence of a gas cloud in line of sight.
In case of alarm, the presence of gas cloud is displayed as an overlay on the infrared image. The identification and estimated path length concentration are given in top left corner and the gas is underlined in red in the gas list.
The latest version of Second Sight is becoming a universal gas detector with its new detection algorithm Gas X, an unknown gas detection capability that enables the detection of any gas cloud modifying the infrared signature in band III of the observed scene, even if the gas is not listed into the system’s database.
Vehicle mounting
The vehicle mounting is a mechanical interface to easily attached the head camera with its pan & tilt on the roof of any vehicle.
GPS option
The GPS coordinates of the Second Sight is given in the Graphic User Interface. It highlights the Area of surveillance on a map. Integrated with compass, it also give de direction of the Second Sight when used with Pan&Tilt.
Battery
Lightweight and compact battery designed with Lithium-ion technology to offers 5,5 hours of automomy
12° objective
Specific lens for surveillance up to 5km. This lens is compatible with any Second Sight and can be replaced by user
Video
The only standoff gas detector for real time surveillance and with source localization.
It’s the perfect solution for critical area surveillance and protection against chemical threats (Chemical Warfare Agent, Toxic Industrial Compounds).
Related Applications
CBRN vehicle
The Second Sight MS is implemented on CBRN vehicle with full integration within the CBRN sensors. The remote monitoring from inside the vehicle provide a full 360° surveillance of chemical threat.
Military CBRN team
Second Sight MS is a passive, long range chemical and toxic cloud gases detector; it is ideally suited to military operations due to its compact, lightweight and modular design.
Critical infrastructure
Second Sight MS is implemented on building roof for large area monitoring. The remote monitoring from the security room ensures an early warning to target the response action.
First responders
Second Sight Ms is deployed in case of accident to detect a gas leak at a long distance and preventing first reponders to go on field without knowing what they are facing.
