Fire Suppression Systems (FSS) Enhance Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Survivability

摘要

TWVs have been lost or rendered inoperable in Iraq and Afghanistan because of accidental vehicle fires or battle damage fires from ballistic attacks, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and IED fragments. As a result, fire suppression experts from the Army and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) have collaborated on providing numerous FSS to meet current and emerging threats.
