The Fire Suppression System is to combat the increased use of combustible materials in Improvised
Explosive Devices (IEDs). It is designed to be mounted inside or outside a vehicle and can also be
used in aircraft, ships and submarines. The unit can be mounted with the integral adjustable straps.
In the event of a fire, the handle is pulled and the blanket releases. Once released, the blanket falls
open and free of the container for self aid or for use on other personnel or equipment.
The over pressure of the initial blast can cause conventional fire extinguishers to rupture. This leaves
the individual with no means of extinguishing themselves, their equipment, or others involved in the blast.
The size and intensity of the fires created is also often more than a normal extinguisher can handle.
The Fire Suppression System blanket is rated for a constant operating temperature of 1093°C and
has a melt point of 1649°C. The blanket can be used multiple times to extinguish personnel, vehicles
and equipment with one device.
