**Experiencing inferior flame detector performance in your hardened aircraft shelter?**

 

 

Then you need a solution that ignores jet engine exhaust and afterburner tests, while delivering exceptional coverage and reliability. Ideally, the solution should improve safety, reduce operating costs, and only detect hazardous fires.

## HazMap3D Challenges to contend with when using optical flame detectors in aircraft hangars

## Applications

We understand that no two environments are the same, which is why our solutions can be tailored to the needs and nature of your business and its surrounding environment. This way, you have smart flame detection systems with the ability to know when to alarm, and when not to.

- ### Aircraft Hangars
  
   Aircraft hangars must have rapid flame detection systems in place. But current fire safety systems cause frequent false alarms.
- ### Hardened Aircraft Hangars
  
   Reliable flame detection designed to ignore jet engine exhaust, blackbody radiation, EMI/RFI interference and sunlight.
- ### Helideck
  
   Helidecks can cause problems for certain flame detectors. Hundreds of helidecks are protected by Micropack iVFD, with proven immunity to hot CO2, blackbody radiation and extreme weather.
