The New Agent Development approach represents a moderate-lo-high technical risk and
will require a mid-to-laag term (3-6 year) effort To reduce the technical risk, there will be a
parallel effort to develop New/Advanced Technologies (Task 3), In this effort, it is assumed that

Similar hazard assessments have been performed for US Navy aircraft hangars [16] and for USAF hush houses [17]. These hazard assessments were used to assess risk of loss, and impact of design changes such as the type of fuel used, ignition sources, detection time, and agent extinguishing effectiveness. These assessment techniques would qualitatively be used in a first order approximation of rank order of prioritization for Navy and DoD assets. A first-cut matrix is provided in Table 1.

Rationale for Assigned Priority
- Weapons cook-off potential
- Need for occupant rescue - Greatest potential for immediate multi-plane incident
due to crash into pack o f aircraft
- Minimal separation distances between A/C, between
ordnance items, and between A/C and ordnance
- Proximity o f threat area to occupied areas - High value asset
- Potential for battle damage
- Same as flight deck, but:
- Less potential for multi-plane incident
- Lower parking density (greater separation
distances) - Lesser amounts o f ordnance
Same threat as flight deck, but less probability for sudden multi-plane incident and less ordnance
Less ordnance relative to aircraft carrier hangar
Single aircraft
- Minimal ordnance - Negligible life safety threat High value asset, but no ordnance exposure and minimal life
safety threat - Need for occupant rescue
- Weapon cook-off potential
- Concentration of high value assets - Need for occupant rescue
- Weapons cook-offthreat
- Physically separated assets
- Minimal life safety threat
* Priority relative to need for rapid pool fire extinguishment
