Fire Alarm System/Fire Suppression System for Mobile Tactical Shelters

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop a fire detection/ suppression capability for DoD standard family mobile tactical shelters. The systems developed and tested provide complete protection during all employment conditions; in garrison use, storage, transportation, and deployed field conditions. The reports outlines the requirement and the test and evaluation program. Two manufacturers of detection systems and two manufacturers of suppression systems were identified and qualified to meet the fire protection requirements for mobile tactical shelters. Keywords include: Fire protection; Fire detection; Fire suppression; Firefighting; HALON; Mobile shelters.
