5 Abstract.. The Advanced Volume Sensor (VS) Project was one element of the U.S. Office of Naval Research s (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities program; Advanced Damage Countermeasures. This program sought to develop and demonstrate improved Damage Control (DC) capabilities to help ensure that the recoverability performance goals for new ship programs could be met with the specified manning levels and damage control systems. Using a multi-sensory approach, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is developing new detection capabilities for DC in the shipboard environment including a Volume Sensor Prototype (VSP). The VSP was developed to provide an affordable, real-time, robust, and remote sensor system that provides detection and classification of DC conditions such as fire, explosions, pipe ruptures, and compartment flooding. The VSP generates alarm notifications for action by the Damage Control Team and other available damage control systems based on the detected event. DRDC Atlantic has purchased a VS system from the U.S. NRL. This system is called the Volume Sensor Canadian Demonstrator Prototype (VS-CDP). The VS prototype has been repackaged into a standalone unit with two sensor heads for evaluation by the Canadian Navy. This document describes the installation and operation of the Volume Sensor Canadian Demonstrator Prototype (VS-CDP) system. Résumé...

Rose-Pehrsson; DRDC Atlantic CR ; Defence R&D Canada Atlantic; August Introduction: The Advanced Volume Sensor (VS) Project was one element of the U.S. Office of Naval Research s (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities program; Advanced Damage Countermeasures. This program sought to develop and demonstrate improved Damage Control (DC) capabilities to help ensure that the recoverability performance goals for new ship programs could be met with the specified manning levels and damage control systems. Using a multisensory approach, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is developing new detection capabilities for DC in the shipboard environment including a Volume Sensor Prototype (VSP). The VSP was developed to provide an affordable, real-time, robust, and remote sensor system that provides detection and classification of DC conditions such as fire, explosions, pipe ruptures, and compartment flooding. The VSP generates alarm notifications for action by the Damage Control Team and other available damage control systems based on the detected event. DRDC Atlantic has purchased a VS system from the U.S. NRL. This system is called the Volume Sensor Canadian Demonstrator Prototype (VS-CDP). The VS prototype has been repackaged into a standalone unit with two sensor heads for evaluation by the Canadian Navy. Results: The installation and the operation of the VS-CDP are described. The VS is a prototype fire and smoke detection and situational awareness system. The first part of this document introduces the VS-CDP and sets the scope of this document. The set up of the VS-CDP and its various components are discussed in the next section. The operation of the VS for real-time demonstrations and the situational awareness provided by the system are delineated in the last section. Significance: The rapid and accurate detection of fire and damage events on a ship allows them to be dealt with in a timely manner. This can be crucial in preventing the event from growing and putting the safety of the ship and its crew at risk. The VS-CDP is an advanced DC sensing system that will enhance fire and damage detection onboard ships. It can differentiate between real fire and damage events and nuisance events that lead to false alarms. Future Work: The VS-CDP was tested and evaluated during a series of fire, damage and nuisance events on the ex-uss SHADWELL, Mobile, Alabama in September Opportunities for continued testing and evaluation of this system, including a trial on a CF ship, will be pursued.

Résultats : Le présent rapport décrit l'installation et le fonctionnement du CV-PDC. Le CV est un prototype de système de détection d'incendie et de fumée et de connaissance de la situation. En premier lieu, on présente le CV-PDC et on établit la portée du rapport. Ensuite, on étudie l'installation du CV-PDC et de ses divers composants, et enfin on explique le fonctionnement du CV aux fins de démonstrations en temps réel et la connaissance de la situation fournie par le système. Portée : La détection précoce et précise des incendies et des avaries sur un navire permet de réagir rapidement, ce qui peut être vital pour éviter que la situation ne s'aggrave et mette en péril le navire et son équipage. Le CV-PDC est un système de détection de LCA de pointe capable de distinguer les vraies situations dangereuses des fausses alertes, qui améliorera la détection d'incendies et d'avaries à bord des navires. Recherches futures : En septembre 2010, le CV-PDC a été mis à l'essai et a été évalué au cours d'incendies, d'avaries et de perturbations déclenchées à bord de l'ex-uss SHADWELL, à la baie de Mobile, en Alabama. Nous continuerons de rechercher des occasions de mettre à l'essai et d'évaluer le système, y compris à bord d'un navire des FC. i DRDC Atlantic CR

It is highly desirable that the abstract of classified documents be unclassified. Each paragraph of the abstract shall begin with an indication of the security classification of the information in the paragraph (unless the document itself is unclassified) represented as (S), (C), (R), or (U). It is not necessary to include here abstracts in both official languages unless the text is bilingual.) The Advanced Volume Sensor (VS) Project was one element of the U.S. Office of Naval Research s (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities program; Advanced Damage Countermeasures. This program sought to develop and demonstrate improved Damage Control (DC) capabilities to help ensure that the recoverability performance goals for new ship programs could be met with the specified manning levels and damage control systems. Using a multi-sensory approach, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is developing new detection capabilities for DC in the shipboard environment including a Volume Sensor Prototype (VSP). The VSP was developed to provide an affordable, real-time, robust, and remote sensor system that provides detection and classification of DC conditions such as fire, explosions, pipe ruptures, and compartment flooding. The VSP generates alarm notifications for action by the Damage Control Team and other available damage control systems based on the detected event. DRDC Atlantic has purchased a VS system from the U.S. NRL. This system is called the Volume Sensor Canadian Demonstrator Prototype (VS-CDP). The VS prototype has been repackaged into a standalone unit with two sensor heads for evaluation by the Canadian Navy. This document describes the installation and operation of the Volume Sensor Canadian Demonstrator Prototype (VS-CDP) system. Le projet de capteurs de volume (CV) fait partie du programme Advanced Damage Countermeasures (contre-mesures d'avaries de pointe) des futures fonctions navales de l'office of Naval Research (ONR) des États-Unis. Ce programme visait à développer et à faire la démonstration de fonctions améliorées de lutte contre les avaries (LCA) afin d'atteindre les objectifs de rendement de récupérabilité des programmes des nouveaux navires, avec les équipages et les systèmes LCA prévus. Le Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) des États-Unis travaille à la conception de nouvelles fonctions multicapteurs de détection des LCA à bord de navires, dont un prototype de capteurs de volume (PCV). Le PCV est un système de détection à distance en temps réel, résistant et économique, qui peut détecter et classer des conditions comme des incendies, des explosions, la rupture de tuyaux et l'envahissement de compartiments. Le PCV génère des alarmes aux fins d'intervention par les équipes de LCA et les autres systèmes de LCA disponibles, selon l'événement détecté. RDDC Atlantique a acquis un système CV auprès du NRL des États-Unis, nommé système de capteurs de volume prototype démonstrateur canadien (CV-PDC). Le prototype CV a été adapté en un seul appareil autonome muni de deux capteurs et il sera évalué par la Marine canadienne. Le présent rapport décrit l'installation et le fonctionnement du système de capteurs de volume prototype démonstrateur canadien (CV-PDC). 14.
