Abstract:

With the rapidly expanding variety of fire protection technologies competing for limited RD budgets, facilities, and expertise, it has become necessary to develop a system benefit assessment methodology for use in RD efforts. Such a methodology is necessary to compare, rate, and evaluate these competing technologies in order to select the most promising for further development, to assess the potential benefits and costs for each, and to develop a rational developmental funding profile for each technology and an overall RD program as a whole. The purpose of this discussion will be to present recent findings and to discuss future efforts.
