An outline is given of the new neutron Brillouin Spectrometer BRISP which was installed during the last years and recently became fully operational at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble (France). The main technical features are described and some of the first experimental results are presented, demonstrating the present capabilities of this new-type inelastic small-angle spectrometer. Future upgrades are foreseen and expected to further improve the instrument performances.

Key words: neutron scattering instrumentation, time of flight, small-angle spectrometers
