Abstract: An apparatus and fire protection system for detecting and extinguishing a spark, flame, or fire on a heat sensitive explosive object, which identifies, locates and relays vital information related to the particular endangered explosive object. The invention can be used to protect any heat sensitive object from thermal damage, explosive or not. Thermal energy activates a power supply, which powers the system, including a plurality of status sensor circuits that determine the status of the source of thermal energy. Each source of thermal energy is individually encoded to relay traits specific to the particular hazardous item, such as cook-off rate, type of energetic material and detonation temperature. Ultimately, all the information from the plurality of circuits and the EEPROM is relayed to personnel via the main system status display board. This permits personnel to become aware of a potential threat and monitor efforts to subdue the threat.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a process and system for detecting and extinguishing a spark, flame, or fire on a heat sensitive explosive object, which identifies, locates and relays vital information related to the particular endangered explosive object. The invention protects the sensitive objects, regardless of how they are heated. The invention can be used to protect any heat sensitive object from thermal damage, explosive or not. Thermal energy activates a power supply, which powers the system, including a plurality of status sensor circuits that determine the status of the source of thermal energy. Each source of thermal energy may be individually encoded to relay traits specific to the particular hazardous item, such as cook-off rate, type of energetic material and detonation temperature. Data stored in an EEPROM contains various facts regarding the source of thermal energy. Signals from the plurality of circuits and the EEPROM are relayed to an encoder.

Abstract: An fire protection system for use in shipboard magazines wherein electric at detectors in a ship magazine provide temperature data to a fire panel. Upon detection of predetermined threshold temperatures, the fire panel initiates an alarm system and activates a fire sprinkler valve to apply water to fire sprinklers in the magazine. Temperature data from the heat sensors and stored weapon response data are used by a damage control system to generate graphic display data showing thermal conditions in the magazine and estimated times and temperatures at which stored munitions will undergo thermal destruction.
