Defence Turkey: Mr. Ahti Luukkonen, first of all thank you for the interview. Could you please inform us about Environics’s core capabilities, technologies, and products?
First of all thank you Defence Turkey for giving me this opportunity for this interview.
I appreciate this highly.
Environics is the world-leading supplier of CBRN detectors and integrated CBRN systems.
Our core capabilities are chemical and biological sensor technologies, as well as
Software for radiation and nuclear identification products and software for CBRN dedicated situational awareness applications.
Our chemical detection is based on orthogonal approach including Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) and numerous other sensors. This approach guarantees reliable and sensitive detection of CWA and TICs as well as extremely good selectivity.
Our product categories covers Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), Field Deployable-, Mobile (i.e. naval, and vehicle) and Fixed integrated CBRN Systems.
Our product names ChemPro, BioScout, Gossamer, RanidPro and EnviScreen are well known.
Defence Turkey: Environics provides CBRN reconnaissance vehicle solutions for the requirements of world-armies, Could you please tell us more your product?
Environics provides complete solutions for CBRN reconnaissance vehicles. Our solution consist of CBRN detectors with sampling lines for air, ground and liquid samples. We also may integrate CBRN analyzers, weather sensors, and safety glove boxes etc. as part of our solution.
All CBRN detectors and other sensors are integrated to work together with EnviScreen Operix situational awareness software. In addition to real time monitoring of sensors, EnviScreen Operix also provides ATP 45 reporting tools and options to calculate hazardous areas.
In our CBRN reconnaissance vehicle solutions we use our own state-of art detectors, and numerous products from our OEM partners. All individual products in our solution represents the best available technology in their category. The complete CBRN reconnaissance system solution is well tested and already field proven by many nations.
Defence Turkey: In which are areas are EnviScreen most effective and can we talk about the cost effectiveness?
We have developed EnviScreen software more than 10 years to meet our different customer requirements. EnviScreen is the only CBRN dedicated situational awareness software in the market.
EnviScreen is widely used by our customers for the following integrated applications:
Area monitoring
Critical infrastructure
Naval applications
CBRN reconnaissance vehicles
For all applications where the customer need to monitor several detectors, and especially from several different locations, EnviScreen is very effective tool.
Defence Turkey: What are your activities in Turkey? Could you please enlighten us about your strategy and plans with Turkish Defense industry companies?
We already do have a strong position with ChemPro100i Handheld Detectors within AFAD organization around Turkey. We obviously look forward to developing our collaboration with AFAD in terms of new devices, solutions and CBRN training.
We are in a good position providing complete CBRN hazmat training, not only our own product training.
We are very keen to develop our collaboration with Turkish Defense industry companies; and not only for the Turkish market, but for the export market as well.
We already collaborate with the major Turkish military vehicle suppliers for Turkish projects such as the Special Purpose Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicles Procurement project. We obviously hope that our CBRN detectors will be selected for this project.
We also have an on-going CBRN reconnaissance system deliveries to one Turkish special vehicle supplier for their export projects. This is already a remarkable project for us.
There are number of other negotiations on-going with local shipyards and other Turkish system level integrators. We hope to find more and even deeper partnership with the Turkish Defense Industry. I believe that both parties can benefit many ways from this kind of collaboration.
In cases where the business is developing positively, we certainly consider carefully the option of local maintenance and repair services for our products.
Defence Turkey: Finally, Would you like to add a message to our readers?
I want encourage the Turkish Defense Industry to contact us. Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you feel that there’s any possibilities to collaborate with us.
