Objectives of Programme
The overall objective of the FIREDASS programme is to develop new modelling techniques, which can then be used by industry to optimise fire detection and suppression/ extinguishing systems:
- The ability to model the effect of different fire scenarios, fire positions and different physical configurations of aircraft, ships, vehicles and buildings, and to generate data to allow the fire-proofing of these enclosures to be assessed.
- The ability to model fire detection/activation systems and water mist suppression/extinguishing systems to allow their performance (detection, suppression and extinguishment) to be assessed and optimised without conducting fire tests.
- Reduction in the development time and number of fire tests necessary for system certification.
- The replacement of synthetic extinguishing media that damage the environment.
