ABSTRACT:
Mechanism for suppressing fires in military vehicles, especially in engine ompartments and in relatively inaccessible areas beneath the turret-basket units of such vehicles. The mechanism includes a plurality of fire condition sensors for energizing an alarm device and/or an electric switch that controls the discharge of fire suppressant vapor toward the developing fireball. The system is flexible in that it provides for automatic suppression of near-explosive fires and manual suppression of slow growth fires.
The invention described herein may be manufactured, used, and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without payment to me of any royalty thereon.
