A fire control system works by integrating various sensors and computing technologies to detect, track and engage targets. It collects data from radar, optical sensors and other sources to establish the target’s position and movement. The system processes this information to calculate optimal fire solutions, guiding weapon systems in targeting and engaging threats. Continuous updates ensure accuracy during engagement, enabling real-time adjustments based on target behavior.
A fire system works to detect and fight fires using a combination of sensors, alarms and suppression methods.
It typically includes smoke detectors, heat detectors and manual activation points to identify fire incidents. Once a fire is detected, the system triggers alarms to alert occupants and activates fire suppression measures, such as sprinklers or fire extinguishers, to control and extinguish the fire.
The principle of fire control is to identify a target, assess its threat level and determine the best course of action to neutralize it. This includes collecting data on the target’s location, speed and trajectory, then using that information to calculate an accurate shooting solution.
Effective fire control minimizes collateral damage and maximizes the probability of successfully engaging the target.
The process of controlling a fire involves several steps, including detection, notification, suppression and containment. Detection is achieved by alarms and sensors that identify heat or smoke. Notification alerts occupants and emergency services.
Suppression methods, such as water, foam or chemicals, are then used to extinguish the fire, while containment strategies prevent its spread to adjacent areas, ensuring safety and minimizing damage.
A fire suppression system works by detecting a fire and deploying extinguishing agents to control or extinguish it. These systems can be automatic, using sprinklers or gas-based systems that activate when a fire is detected, or manual, requiring human intervention. Suppression agents used may include water, foam, dry chemicals or gases, depending on the type of fire and environment.
The goal is to quickly reduce the heat, oxygen, or fuel available to the fire to effectively mitigate its effects
