 Spectrex Inc. - Military Systems
The Military SAFE Vehicle Automatic Fire and Explosion Detection and Suppression System was developed to address leading armies' requirements for crew survivability and safety, vehicle survivability as well as system survivability in all operating conditions.
Use of the SAFE system results in a substantial increase in crew and vehicle survival, reduced vehicle loss, increased capability and improved morale among the troops.
The company’s SAFE system limits pressure and radiation build-up from an explosion by immediate intervention (less than 100 milliseconds) which restricts the quantity of flammable fluid that interacts with the air, and thus confines the size and duration of flame propagation.
