The Collins Aerospace Kidde Dual Spectrum® tactical wheeled vehicle two-zone automatic fire/explosion suppression (AFES) system comprises extremely fast and highly accurate Dual Spectrum sensors that detect fires and explosions in zones such as crew areas and engine compartments. Additional protection systems are available, supporting external, wheel and track areas.

Typical Vehicle Integration 

Optical sensors are located throughout the protected zone so that the entire space is monitored. Fire extinguishers are in supportive locations with distribution nozzles to ensure sufficient agent concentrations reach all parts of the protected space. An Agent Concentration Test (ACT) is typically conducted to validate concentration design. The control electronics panel is located within easy reach of driver and/or commander. Our engineers are experts in vehicle integration with experience on many vehicles from conceptual design to government live fire testing.
