Abstract: An apparatus for providing an autonomous fire extinguishing system including a tank filled with an extinguishing agent with a targeting system with independently mounted targeting servos and targeting gimbal to position an emitter and an infra-red camera. A microcontroller provides control signals to the targeting servos and an actuation valve. One or more heat sensors, smoke detectors, humidity sensors, and/or carbon monoxide detectors are electrically connected to the microcontroller; and the microcontroller continuously reads in the sensor data till appropriate conditions indicating a potential fire are detected; these appropriate can be based on temperature, rate of temperate increase, smoke levels, humidity, and/or carbon monoxide levels. Once the appropriate conditions are detecting, the microcontroller commands the targeting gimbal to position the infra-red camera to a number of calculated positions, taking infra-red pictures covering the environment requiring protection.

Abstract: A system for providing an automatic fire extinguishing system including a tank filled with an extinguishing agent with a targeting system with independently mounted targeting servos and targeting gimbal to position an emitter. A microcontroller provides control signals to the targeting servos and an actuation valve. A plurality of temperature sensors electrically connected to the microcontroller send temperature data to the microcontroller which calculates target angles and sends the target angle to the targeting gimbal. The emitter is positioned by the targeting servo positioning the targeting gimbal armatures to the target angles. The microcontroller compares sensor temperature data a predetermined temperature value and sends an open signal to the actuation valve when a sensor temperature data is greater than the predetermined temperature value. The extinguishing agent flows from the tank to the emitter, where it is discharged.
