Instant Fire Detection & Suppression System (IFDSS) for T72

Product category :Tank & Armoured Fighting Vehicle Electronic Systems

Instant Fire Detection and Suppression System (IFDSS) is a micro controller based fire detection and suppression system for T-72 tank. The Equipment automatically detects the fire and suppression of fire is carried out either automatic or by manual override switch in crew as well as in engine compartment of the tank.

The detector unit have IR sensors that detects the fire in crew compartment and sends the confirmation signal of fire to Master Control Unit (MCU). The Master Control Unit (MCU) takes the necessary action to activate the fire Extinguishers.

A “Fire-Wire” is a flexible heat detecting wire, having one or more elements joined in series by means of various connector accessories. It is a linear Thermal Detector, which is directly interfaced with the Master Control Unit, and is designed for detection “Over Heat”, “Fire”, “Open Circuit” and “Short Circuit” conditions.

The system has feature of continuous health monitoring of Detector Units, Alarm and Flasher unit, BCU, Fire wire and on demand connectivity check for Fire Extinguishers. The system also has the features like Built in Test facility (BITE) and Audio-Visual indication of “Over Heat” and “Fire” conditions in Engine compartment. During NBC event, MCU sends signal to Blower Control Unit (BCU), which provides necessary interface for operation of special blower, electromagnet special blower & electric valve.

MCU sends signal to Alarm & Flasher Unit (AFU) for audio & visual alarm indication during overheat & fire condition in engine compartment.
