FIRE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY BENEFIT METHODOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

• PRESENTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL HALON REPLACEMENT
  WORKING GROUP MEETING
• ZURICH, SWITZERLAND
• June 1998

BACKGROUND

• INTERNATIONAL LAWS HAVE RESULTED IN A BAN ON THE
  PRODUCTION OF HALONS
• RESULT HAS BEEN A RAPID EVOLUTION OF VARIOUS
  AIRCRAFT FIRE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES
• LITTLE EFFORT DEVOTED TO METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
  TO EVALUATE VARIOUS REPLACEMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Expert Choice

• Helps you organize the various elements of a
  problem into a hierarchy
• Guides you in judging, via pairwise
  comparisons, the relative importance of the
  objectives and the preference for the
  alternatives that you have defined
• Derives priorities by combining intangible
  information from your experience intuition and
  tangible information such as data
• Allows you to analyze the sensitivity of your
  results to changes in judgment
