Research abstract

Summit Safety will develop an ultrasonic, non-contact sensor and system capable of detecting the acoustic sounds and fire-induced vibrations of structures that are precursors of structural collapse. The system will provide advanced warning to the Incident Commander of potential or imminent structural collapse. COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The total US market for this product includes the over 1 million firefighters in over 26,000 fire departments and 40,000 pumpers, potential monitoring and tactical military and law enforcement applications, as well as Search and Rescue (such as FEMA USAR teams). The total US market is estimated to be in excess of $50 million.
