During Phase I, the feasibility of developing and implementing an innovative automated fire detection and targeting system that can suppress fires anywhere on a typical deckhouse will be demonstrated. During the program, performance requirements and metrics will be defined and used as the basis of the assessment. At least one conceptual design will be developed and assessed based on the previously define performance requirements. The assessment will identify the potential capabilities and limitations of the system for this application. A Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) will also be developed to support a Phase II effort. This POA&M will include both system development and evaluation plans contain discrete milestones for product development for verifying performance and suitability.
