Tests were conducted to evaluate the level of performance of commercially available optical fire detectors for use in Navy aircraft hangars. Detectors were evaluated based on response to fuel spill fires and to optical stresses (i.e., potential false alarm sources). The results of the fire detection evaluation have been combined with false alarm immunity criteria into a new optical detector performance specification for Navy aircraft hangars.
