• One Optoelectronic Piloting Unit (OPU),
• One or more Fibre Optic Sensors Networks (FOSN),
• A Volumetric Acoustic System (VAS), consisting of one Signal
Processing Unit (SPU) and one or more Microphone Arrays (MA),
• A Local Supervisor (LS).
The FOSN collect temperature and gas concentrations information
in the area where they are displaced. Data are acquired through
the OPU and sent to the LS, where are stored and where can be
accessed by users. The LS collects also data from pre-existing
terrestrial stations (i.e. visual cameras and meteorological
stations). The VAS aim is to perform a continuous volumetric
scanning to detect fire noise. Once a fire has been detected, an
alert is sent to the LS and data are collected. The OPU and LS
will be integrated in a single rack mount cabinet, the Local
Control Unit.
