Light Weight Composite Structures
Problems “Thermos effect” - Containing fire not an option Boundary cooling not feasible - Must fight fire in the
compartment How to handle breeched fixed installed fifi systems? Low classified fire zones? Concealed areas? BA-attacks adding oxygen, high risk procedure for
crew and shipSolution
Cutting extinguisher as standard procedure and for redundancy
Safe position – outside of the fire zone Fast deployment and boundary cooling from inside
of thermos Mitigates back draught Buys time for BA to musterIn addition; less water = less stability issues, clearing tool for evac

Nuclear Powerplants Main Objectives
Initial response stabilize conditions with finite resources before municipal FRS arriveContain the incident within the fire cellPrevent contamination (run off water, gases)Limited ventilation possibilities / undesiredAttack without shut down power supply/transmission
BA operations as last alternative (and in a safer environment)

COBRA Acheivements -Nuclear Power Plants
Efficiency: The Cobra offers rapid and efficient intervention
from a safe position – outside the fire cell. 1-2 minutes of Cobra intervention will make a
dramatic stabilizing effect on the situation. Containment:
No inside attack No influence on ventilation No contaminated water run off No breach of security barrier / fire cell
Finite resources: A Cobra attack requires 2 fire fighters and can be
fast at the scene before the full team and all resources arrives

COBRA achivements –Nuclear Powerplants
Integrated approach: If a BA attack and other conventional methods are
necessary, it will be in a safer environment for the BA team if you first start the intervention by using Cobra
Suitability: Dielectric test verified the Cobra for the NPP
environment Attack possible with Cobra without shutting down
power supply

Steel plant, example
High fire risk production Smelter site with complex filter construction
High cost for investments and re-investments €4,000,000 invested, re-investment at
approx €10.000.000Heavy investments in sprinkler systems required Approx €700,000 + 10-20% yearly
maintenanceContious production process Great revenue loss if production halts
