摘要: |
For this study, the US and Canadian governments assessed the potential for technology transfer of five technologies, which were developed to meet military requirements, to civilian first responders (emergency response teams, police, firefighters, etc). The technologies identified were: (1) Effervescent Liquid Fine Mist Apparatus for Extinguishing Fire (ELFMA) - a self contained fire extinguisher that uses chemical reaction to produce a bubbly two- phase (effervescent) flow through a convergent-divergent nozzle; (2) Joint Firefighter Integrated Response Ensemble (JFIRE) - a first-generation firefighter personal protective suit that provides firefighters with NBC protection while engaged in fighting fires; (3) Panoramic Night Vision Goggles (PNV) night vision goggles with a wide field of vision to improve situational awareness; (4) Remote Casualty Location Assessment Device (RCLAD) - a developmental casualty location tool focused toward the search and rescue mission; (5) Threat Containment Unit - a small (about the size of a refrigerator), lightweight, inexpensive mobile bomb containment and disposal unit intended for one time use. |
