ABSTRACT:
A military vehicle equipped with a hollow panel containing a fire supprest, the panel being located directly inboard from one of the vehicle fuel tanks, whereby enemy projectiles fired into the tank also penetrate the panel; fire suppressant sprays out of the hole formed by the projectile, thereby preventing formation of or extinguishing a potential fireball within the vehicle before it can grow into a massive holocaust of lethal proportions. A foraminous screen is positioned on the inboard face of the panel to prevent the panel from fragmenting as the suppressant enlarges the hole formed by the projectile.
