Combined Sensor Fire Detection Warning System

Lack of reliable tire warning systems in ammunition and petroleum storage areas results each year in the loss of millions of dollars in materials; it also endangers lives. Typical optical fire detection sensors do not work veil under frequently encountered adverse atmospheric conditions and in addition are incapable of covering sizable areas. Combining millimeter wave sensors with optical sensors takes advantage of the best features of each. In order to provide low-cost and reliable fire detection and warning for U.S. Army ammunition storage sites, both indoor and outdoor, WaveBand Corporation proposes to design and develop a Combined Sensor Fire Detection and Warning System. The proposed reliable and low cost fire sensors will be applicable for all large storage sites of flammable materials, both Government and private.
