State-of-the-art safety not only means detecting a fire during operation and extinguishing it automatically as soon as possible, but also guaranteeing optimum protection when the vehicle is parked. For this reason, the fire protection system must always be operational also to protect against fire due to malfunctions and outside influences. KIDDE-DEUGRA guarantees this protection.

To provide fire protection KIDDE DEUGRA solutions are developed for at two three different locations in the vehicle:

• the engine, hydraulic and/or APU compartment
• the crew compartment
• the underfloor area/propulsion system and/or roof area

Whereas the engine, hydraulic and/or APU compartment and the underfloor area/propulsion system and/or roof area are protected by a fire fighting system, a fire suppression system serves to protects the crew compartment.

A combined solution of all three systems offers optimised protection for man and machine:

• enhanced survivability  for crew and vehicle
• Additional protection against attack with Molotov cocktails
• Additional protection during training and exercises
• Protection of vehicle during transportation and storage
