G3 Systems has successfully delivered a specially designed Fire Trials and Evaluation Unit (FTEU) to the Royal Navy (RN) at Horsea Island. The FTEU enables realistic firefighting simulation and equipment analysis.
The FTEU offers the navy a platform to conduct live fire testing and equipment analysis, enabling realistic simulation of fire behaviour aboard RN vessels.
Navy Command Headquarters, Defence Equipment & Support, the Submarine Delivery Agency, equipment teams, and platform authorities will be able to use this facility, as it provides data and experiences that inform equipment selection and development of firefighting policies, procedures, and techniques.
Trials are conducted in a controlled environment, verifying effectiveness before they become official policies.
