AFPDS Bagged Propellant Fire Suppression Evaluations
Abstract
The purpose or the evaluations was to confirm the Advanced Fire Protection Deluge System (AFPDS) is suitable for high-speed fire suppression or bagged propellant in a Weapons Surveillance, Inspection and Quality Control function. No previous AFPDS evaluations were conducted with bagged propellant. The AFPDS detects fires and rapidly dispenses water to the burning material surface providing control and extinguishment. A mock up of inspection operations was assembled at AFRL/MLQD Test Range II. An existing 4-foot wide table was positioned 35 inches below an AFPDS. Two types of bagged propellant were obtained from the U.S. Army Operations Support Command Safety Office to burn in these evaluations. Based upon the results, recommendations were made for constructing a table for propellant inspection operations.
