The Problem (Cont.)
Detection Systems:
- Current state of the art fire detection systems have one major drawback:
- Approximately 95% of all reported smoke warnings within aircraft cargo areas are caused by false alarms.
- New fire detection technology is required to:
- Improve reliability of current systems.
- Activate the new technology fire suppression systems.
- Tools are required to assist in the design of the new technology fire detection systems to determine the optimum type and location of the sensors for maximum selection effectiveness and reliability.
