ABSTRACT:
Suppression apparatus comprises a plurality of pressurized containers of fire extinguishing material arranged in the troop and/or engine compartment of an armored vehicle, the containers having pressure sensors which provide output indications of their operability and their discharge. In rapid response to an alarm indication and to the output indications, logic circuitry initially selects at least one container indicated to be operable, actuates this container to discharge its extinguishing material and, in the absence of an ouput indication of its discharge, actuates an additional container for discharge of extinguishing material therefrom.
