- Abstract
- This is an in-progress presentation of a plan whose goal is to develop and demonstrate, by 2004, environmentally-friendly, user-safe processes, techniques, and fluids that meet the operational fiie extinguishment and explosion suppression requirements currently satisfied by halon 1301 systems in aircraft, ships, ground combat vehicles, and critical command and control facilities. The plan is being formulated at the direction of the Office of Advanced Technology, Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E).
