DML-100A 

DML-100A is an aircraft laser complex for remote detection of methane leaks, designed for monitoring extended gas transportation infrastructure facilities. The system provides non-contact detection of natural gas leaks, measurement of methane concentration, visualization of leak locations and data binding to GNSS coordinates and other allowed satellite navigation systems.

The complex can be installed on airborne and ground-based robotic platforms. The system includes a laser gas analyzer, a television channel, a range finder and a thermal imaging module (optional).
