Identification of Fire Signatures for Shipboard Multi-Criteria Fire Detection Systems

Abstract

This report presents the initial findings of an experimental program aimed at developing a multi-signature early warning fire detection system. The detection system is to provide reliable warning of actual fire conditions in less time with fewer nuisance alarms than can be achieved with commercially available smoke detection systems. This report discusses the testing and the multivariate data analysis performed and presents candidate sensors suites that will be evaluated further in ongoing work.
