The Gripen is one of the most advanced fourth generation, multirole combat aircraft in operational service today. Protecting the support network from fire for such a sophisticated piece of equipment demands a highly advanced gas extinguishing system.
A suitable solution
One of the significant challenges faced when deciding on a gas extinguishing system for these critical support areas was finding an economic, environmentally friendly, people safe system that could be designed and maintained by locally available experts. The Pyroshield clean agent gas extinguishing system met this challenge head-on and Alien Systems & Technologies was recently awarded the order for the supply of this equipment.
Beating the competition on environmental friendliness, performance and cost-effectiveness, Pyroshield is an advanced and suitable Halon replacement.
Working closely with Multi-Net Systems of Pretoria, which is the nominated fire installation contractor, AST will be performing the gas system design and supplying the nearly 40 tons of gas equipment required on this sophisticated contract.
