Evolution of Combustion Byproducts from Gaseous Fire Suppression Agents

Abstract

Task 3.3.2 Provide subject matter expertise in the area of fire prevention, detection, and suppression and for other damage prevention and damage reduction systems. (Deliverable 4.8: Ground Vehicle Survivability Technologies and Demonstrators Reports). The US Army plans to modernize legacy vehicle platforms, including Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems (AFES), and is considering replacing legacy agents with more environmentally friendly suppression agents. TARDECs exploratory tests are intended to compare various suppression agents, including new, more environmentally friendly ones, with those currently deployed.
