TITLE: Advancing Technologies in a Regulated World

ABSTRACT:

Predicting where suppression technology will be in five to ten years is a pretty simple task, getting there is not so easy. This lecture will track new innovations in suppression technology and explain the delays associated with regulations/standards. Competing interests, old school logic, and fear of the unknown can lead to multiple year delays in new technology applications. There is however a path forward which will be discussed in detail.
