Introduction
The International Aircraft System Fire Protection Working Group
was established as the International Halon Replacement Working
Group in October 1993. This working group meets twice per
year. One meeting is held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, area
and one meeting is held at a host organization at another
location. This group originally developed minimum performance
standards and test methodologies for non halon aircraft fire
suppression agents/systems in cargo compartments, engine
nacelles, hand held extinguishers, and lavatory trash receptacles.
The groups focus has been expanded to include all system
fire protection R&D for aircraft.
Meeting topics include minimum performance standards for aircraft
handheld extinguishers, cargo compartment fire suppression
systems, and engine nacelles. Halon replacement agents for
these areas are also discussed, which includes fuel tank
explosion protection (including fuel flammability, nitrogen
inerting, other methods of explosion protection) , OBIGGS/OBOGS,
fire protection in hidden areas of the aircraft, and fire
detection R&D.
This working group is open to anyone in the international community
in industry, government, and academia with an interest in
aircraft fire protection systems. See below for past meeting
minutes and next meeting details.
