Autonomic 3-D Fire Targeting System Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-060 Topic Title: Autonomic 3-D Fire Targeting System Proposal No.: N101-060-1557 Firm: Agiltron Corporation 15 Cabot Road Woburn, Massachusetts 01801-1003 Contact: Matthew Erdtmann Phone: (781) 935-1200 Web Site: http://www.agiltron.com Abstract: In this program, Agiltron will partner with Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) to build, test, and deliver to the Navy a 3-D Fire Targeting System that will be the first such system to meet the requirements for exterior shipboard fire detection in next-generation Navy warships, such as the Zumwalt-class DDG-1000 destroyer. The 3-D Fire Targeting System uses multiple thermal mapping cameras based on Agiltron's uncooled photomechanical infrared imaging technology to detect and locate a fire on the deckhouse exterior to an accuracy of less than 2 ft. The location will be relayed to the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) of the DDG-1000, which will then direct the Telerobotic Firefighting Nozzle (TFN) for extinguishment of the fire. Benefits: The proposed 3-D Fire Targeting System is being developed for use by the DDG-1000 Program (PEO Ships/PMS 500). The system, capable of automatically detecting and locating fires, will be assimilated into the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) of the DDG-1000 destroyer for the rapid and safe extinguishment of exterior fires on the ship's deckhouse. It will fill a critical need for the Navy currently unmet by state-of-the-art fire sensing technology. The system can also be used as fire detection systems in military aircraft. The cameras can be placed into wing bays to detect fires with millisecond response time and activate suppressant systems before the wing bay structural integrity is compromised in the event of a fire ignition. Other military applications of the 3-D Fire Targeting System include night vision, target identification and tracking, countermeasures, ground-based missile approach warning systems with suppression of false alarms, thermal weapon sights, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), naval surveillance and threat warning systems, and tactical air-to-ground sensors.
