Fire control system

BeryUium is important as a sensor support material in advanced fire-control and navigation systems for military heflcopters and fighter aircraft utilizing the low weight and high stiffness of the material to isolate instmmentation from vibration. It is also used for scanning mirrors in tank fire-control systems. 

Representational layout of control panels. Where the physical location of items is important, for example, area displays in fire control systems, the layout of the displays on a control panel should reflect the geographical layout of the plant. In other cases a functional arrangement of the elements of the process plant will be appropriate, for example, when monitoring the status of the system via an alarm panel. 

The cabinet enclosure has hot water wash hoses with nozzles for any clean-up necessary, and contains both a manual and an automatic fire control system. Lexan plexiglass doors and windows are provided at the front or operating face of the enclosure for observation and access. All doors and enclosures are essentially air tight. 

Facility will be equipped with a master control panel and alarms which permits functional verification of the exhaust blowers, filters, make-up air supply systems, fire control systems and waste treatment processes.

Frankford Arsenol. One of the US Arsenals listed in Vol 1, p A490-L. It is a field installation of rhe Army Materiel Cmd located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania charged with the responsibility for development, procurement and associated activities for off-carriage fire control systems, and on-carriage fire control components also has responsibilities with respect to small arms ammunition, artillery cartridge cases, projectiles mechanical time fuzes, standard inspection gages ...

The FIRE ENABLE coHimand is sent when the fire control receives a weapons free command from the operators and the fire control system has at least one active track. An active track indicates that the radars have detected something that might be an incoming missile. Three criteria are specified for declaring a track inactive (1) a given period passes with no radar input, (2) the total predicted impact time elapses for the track, and (3) an intercept is confirmed. Operators are allowed to...

Aegis. Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers all have Aegis Combat Systems (ACSs). Aegis was built to counter short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, aircraft, and other ships. Aegis combines several key parts the AN/SPY-1 phased-array radar, the MK 99 Fire Control System, the Weapons Control System, the Command and Decision Suite, and the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2). 

The full title of this standard is, Fire Prevention and Control on Open Type Offshore Production Platforms. It provides recommendations for rninimizing the likelihood of having an accidental fire, and for designing, inspecting, and maintaining fire control systems. It emphasizes the need to train personnel in firefighting, to conduct routine drills, and to establish methods and procedures for safe evacuation. The fire control systems discussed in this recommended practice are intended to provide an early response to incipient fires to prevent their growth. They provide a baseline, and are not intended to preclude the appUcation of more... 

It provides protection for personnel and equipment. This protection can include fire and explosion walls, ventilation systems, fire control systems, and the ability to detect fire and gas. 

In military applications, the most frequent ES use is providing backup power for elecfronics in military vehicles, fire control systems in tanks and armored vehicles, airbag deployments and black boxes on helicopters, and backup power and memory devices for handheld emergency radios. ES-based modules are also appropriate in peak power applications to facilitate reliable communication transmission on land-based vehicles, active suspension for vehicle sfabilization, GPS guided missiles and projectile systems, cold engine starts, and bus voltage hold-up during peak currents. 

Special design requirements, such as pressure relief device requirements, provisions for eductor tube installations, or compressed gas valves used in fire control systems which have high blowdown flow requirements, may dictate greater diameters.

A barrier function is a special safety function designed to prevent, control, or mitigate the propagation of failures or energy into an undesired event (UE) or mishap. A safety barrier can be a series of elements that together implement a barrier function, each element consisting of a technical system or human action. For example, series of interlocks are designed into a missile fire control system to prevent the inadvertent and unauthorized outcome of inadvertent missile launch function. The set of interlocks are safety barriers that implement a barrier function. 

The system is safety-critical or high consequence and requires significant analysis coverage to provide safety assurance (e.g., safe and arm devices, fuzes, guidance systems, launch commands, and fire control system).

Fixed fire control systems such as firewater monitors or water sprays over critical or high-risk equipment or carbon dioxide flooding of enclosures should also be considered. Except for combustion gas mrbine enclosures, situations warranting such protection are not common. 

The best fire-control system has little value if communications fail or if the equipment is crusty dirty and corroded from neglect.
