This report documents the investigation and development of a portable fire detection and suppression system for grounded military cargo aircraft. Several commercially available systems were investigated and rejected in favor of the developed system. This system was tested against a live fire in a C-131 aircraft. Results of this testing revealed that the developed system represented an effective and inexpensive method of providing fire protection to grounded aircraft. A draft purchase description was developed to assist in system procurement. Keywords: Aircraft fire detection; Aircraft fire suppression; Halon 1211 flood; Portable extinguishing system. (SDW)
