EVS System?

Probably - reminds me of the chin mounted cameras SAC B-52's used to have to allow the crews to fly in a nuclear environment.

I always thought they had those so they could see under the smoke from the guys taking off in front of them...

This is the plane with the device on the nose, but you can't see it from this angle.

EVS System?

Looks like you're right, Jay, if I understand your abbreviation correctly. I just got an answer to my question from a friend who is an aviation electronics expert and he says:

"That's a 'synthetic vision' sensor, otherwise known as an infra-red sensor, for making night / low-visibility approaches.  Most Gulfstreams sold today have one, usually mounted along the centerline below the radome.  They've been migrating down to less-expensive bizjets.  That Citation's off-center mounting might not be the intended production config for that plane, or maybe it's mounted off-center so as to not intrude on the over-the-nose cockpit view."

Googling EVS shows several listings for STCs allowing retrofitting so I guess they have multiple mounting options.

IIRC, from the factory, it comes mounted under the nose.
