Abstract:
The NGP was initiated in 1997 to find suitable
replacement technologies for halon 1301, a potent
depleter of stratospheric ozone, for use in existing
weapons systems. The rationale and Program description
can be found in the FY1996 document under Publications.
While the early NGP research was proving successful in
providing both necessary understanding of and direction
for fire suppression technologies, there was continuing
engineering underway to test evolving commercial
technologies. In November 1999, a more modest NGP was
conceived with a focus on fire suppression technologies
for aircraft. The evolution of and strategy for the
updated NGP is described in the FY2000 strategy
document. Under Publications, both documents are
provided for the reader, since the new version refers
extensively to the original. The NGP reached completion
in 2007. Nearly all of the papers listed below are
included on this CD. They are also available from the
NGP web site: www.bfrl.nist.gov/866/NGP
. NGP researchers,
and most others in the field, have presented much of
their work at the annual Halon Options Technical Working
Conferences (HOTWCs). Copies of these papers can be
obtained in two ways:
