The Defence Industry

The defense industry presents unique challenges for fire protection solutions. The rapid advancement of technology has led to increasingly complex systems that surround personnel in combat vehicles. Any malfunction or damage to these vehicles can pose a significant fire risk, which is a lethal threat to the soldiers inside. Additionally, the loss or repair of a vehicle can incur substantial costs.

In combat situations every detail is critical. That’s why at Ugasimy we develop systems that comprehensively address all risk areas associated with modern military vehicles.

Our fire protection solutions utilize products from Amerex Defence—a company that has been safeguarding military vehicles for the United States and its allies since 2009.

Amerex Defense primarily uses field-proven Purple K Dry Chemical for engine bay, wheel & tire fire suppression systems. Smaller dry chemical extinguishers have been added to the product family for tactical wheeled vehicles. These smaller extinguishers reduce system weight while providing excellent firefighting performance in specific target areas.
Engine systems are typically zone-operated with requirement-specific controls and detection. Our linear heat detection wire can be paired with an integrated control panel or an autonomous control panel that operates completely independent from vehicle power, providing full-time protection while armed.

Amerex Defense offers configurable automatic and manually-operated suppression systems to suit a wide variety of hazard areas. Protected zones can be configured to suit virtually any zone or enclosure from cargo compartments to exterior vehicle surfaces and egress paths. Contact uswith your requirements for a fire hazard analysis.

The Amerex Defense CREW Automatic Fire Suppression System is the latest technology being installed in military tactical and combat vehicles.

Microprocessor based electronics enable flexibility to fit specific system configurations and operating logic to protect various types of crew compartments. In single zone applications, this is often done using a combined detector and controller in a single device. Larger systems operate multiple zones using a central control panel. All configurations can be equipped with a backup battery for AFSS operation after vehicle shutdown.

The system operation is ultra-high-speed for protection from both explosive events and slow growth fires.
