Collins Aerospace provides fire/explosion sensors capable of responding to explosive fires in milliseconds with excellent false-alarm immunity, utilizing a patented dual spectrum infrared detection concept to detect energy levels present in a fire or explosion. These sensors, operational in any lighting condition and effective through oil, smoke, dirt, and other obscurants, detect fuel explosions and fires in enclosed spaces of armored personnel carriers and evaluate the growth level of the fire event, thereby mitigating false alarms.
Additionally, we provide a tactical wheeled vehicle controller that combines system control and interface functions into a single unit, serving the dual purpose of system control electronics and operators control panel. This simplified approach reduces component and electrical harness weight and incorporates built-in capabilities to further support its maintainability.
The Dual Spectrum infrared sensor Model PM-34CBEH detects fuel explosions and fires in armored personnel carriers, using a third infrared detector to provide fire signature information and prevent false alarms, activating the suppression system only during actual fire or explosion events.
The Dual Spectrum Model PM-34CSBEH detects fuel explosions and fires in armored personnel carriers, using a third infrared detector to prevent false alarms and trigger suppression only for actual fire events. It features built-in-test circuitry for monitoring system health and radiometric heat detection that remains effective even with contamination.
