This report summarizes the development of an Aircraft Fire Sentry (AFS) system. The AFS is designed to automatically detect a fire in the cargo bay of large cargo aircraft, provide an audio and visual alarm locally, and remotely notify the nearest fire department by radio frequency link. The basic design philosophy in developing the AFS was to use commercially available fire detection hardware and radio transmitters/receivers. The finished assembly is to be lightweight and portable. The AFS is to be deployed onboard parked aircraft and left to sense fire stimulus for up to 60 continuous hours in the self-powered mode. A prototype model was designed, built, and tested for performance and reliability. Unattended/parked cargo aircraft, Aircraft fire detection, Fire department notification, Portable, Modular, Radio frequency operation.
