The BLITZ Tactical UHP can be mounted onto any chassis cab with a +3500kg GVW, including single or double cab configurations. The degree of efficiency of traditional firefighting methodologies is estimated at only 10–20% — meaning up to 90% of water applied has no extinguishing effect. By contrast, Tactical UHP technology is estimated at 90–95% effective.
US Air Force Civil Engineering Centre testing proved the system used 45% less water than traditional systems, resulted in faster room cooling, and used just one-fifth the water for de-smoking (hydraulic ventilation). The fully charged 19mm discharge line is lighter and easier to handle than traditional discharge hoses, and tests show a greater than 300% improvement in firefighting efficiency using Tactical UHP.
The Tactical UHP breaks down traditional water droplets into 64 micro droplets, covering 10–12 times the surface area of conventional systems. Micro droplets delivered at high-energy displace oxygen, disperse radiant heat, reduce flame velocity, and raise humidity to 30% and above — conditions in which fire cannot be sustained. The system supports both Class A and Class B foam application for maximum operational versatility.
