1. To create a new presentation:
Decide on the style that best suites your presentation, Blue background for on-screen and 35 mm slides or White background for OHP transparencies and printed documents.
Open the Work template in the colour you decided on (Blue_Work or White_Work). This file contains the basic structure slides with which to start building your presentation. Save your file.
Open the Slides template in the same colour style (Blue_Slides or White_Slides). This template contains an overview of all the slides types available. Select the slide types you require and Copy them.
Go to Slide Sorter View of your new presentation (the Work template), and Paste the slides into position. Whilst building your presentation you can add slides as required using this method.
Placeholder slide
To be used at the beginning and end of presentations or during breaks.
This slide remains on screen while the audience is settling and the speaker is being introduced.

2. New Technologies in the Fire World Use of robots in support of Fire & Rescue Operations:- Project G.H.O.S.T
Title slide with image
A Title slide must be used in all QinetiQ presentations.
Try to make the Title of your presentation engaging.
Keep the presentation Title brief using a maximum of 2 lines. When using a 2 line presentation Title, reduce the font size by 10 points to 44 points.
All titles should have the first letter uppercase (capital) and the rest in lowercase.
The only font that should be used in the presentation is TheSans Q5 Plain.
All text should be left aligned, other than titles in diagrams and tables.
A web reference can be added to this slide.
If you are doing a dual branded presentation, insert the logo of the other company in the box provided.
Title page image
An interesting image that is appropriate to your presentation should be added to this slide as shown.
When choosing your image make sure you select one that suits landscape and when cropped does not loose its meaning.
Use the Crop tool from the picture toolbar to Crop you image to fit.

Fire Fighting robots from around the world
Fire Fighting Robots
are not new and many
Fire and Rescue Services
around the world have
experimented with their use.
Fire Fighting Robots appear
In two distinct sizes:-
Small enough to pass
through a normal doorway
and VERY BIG!!
The common thing about
them is they are always
expensive and need high
operator skill levels to
get the best out of the them.

6. GHOST teams DO NOT DO BOMB DISPOSAL
Project GHOST :- TEAM HISTORY
WHEELBARROW
Mk.1, 1972
QinetiQ was formed from the UK MoD Defence Research laboratories (DERA). The “Land Division” of QinetiQ has been the design authority for bomb disposal vehicles since their inception in Many of the responding engineers that form up the GHOST teams have worked alongside the bomb disposal crews in places such as Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and other war zones gaining hands on experience of using robotic equipment in hazardous situations.

9. RAPID RESPONSE - INSPECTION ROV – TALON
GHOST TALON is fitted with calibrated thermal imager and facility to undertake wetting tests
It can also be fitted with CBRN sensors and relay data back to command vehicle.

10. HAZMAT INCIDENT OPERATIONS:-
The HAZMAT version of Talon can carry a number of sensors
Our G.H.O.S.T
Talon is fitted with a
Zellwegger
Gas monitor
This alerts on detection of flammable atmospheres, low oxygen levels, detection of ammonia and chlorine.
Future fits include a RADOS radiation survey monitor and a Smiths Chem/bio monitor.

11. POST INCIDENT OPERATIONS:-
Respirex - Containment Bag for contaminated robot
A Home Office approved supplier of body bags for CBRN operations has produced the worlds first?
fully certificated Body Bag
for a contaminated robot.

12. BISON Remote Controlled Vehicle
Project :- G.H.O.S.T.
BISON Remote Controlled Vehicle
BISON RCV.

Bison is used for gaining access, door opening, window smashing, lock cutting etc

13. Project :- G.H.O.S.T. OPERATIONS
Bison RCV:-
Gaining Access to a van containing gas cylinders
This task was completed by the BISON robot under the control of an operator located over 200mtrs away from the vehicle.

14. BISON & TALON RCV Project :- G.H.O.S.T. BISON & TALON RCV.
These two RCVs work is pairs, the control room layout enables the pictures from each robot to be displayed together allowing their operators to see the views from the other. This gives the 3rd view necessary to give depth perception.
In this clip the robots are required to open a ships ISO container which held
10 tons of fireworks.
(2 tons NEQ). We’ll see what happened later!

15. BISON RCV Project :- G.H.O.S.T. BISON RCV. Fitted with:-
Special cylinder valve key
Is used to shut down flaming cylinders.

The GHOST BROKK has been specially modified to operate on either Diesel or AC power.
The BROKK is fitted with large Holmatro cutters to cut through hinges or chassis sections under remote control from a safe distance.
The persons in this video are part of the assessment team during an experimental trial and would not be present at a incident.

19. Industrial Robots – BROKK90
BROKK90 medium weight demolition RCV:-
Brokk90
Moving Van

20. Industrial Robots – BROKK90
BROKK90 medium weight demolition RCV:-
Moving full weight gas
cylinder as part of
experimental trial.
While cylinders can not be moved due to their weight and potential hazard
Using RCVs to move cylinders MIGHT be acceptable. This allows the hazard to be moved away from rail lines and road links opening this up earlier than would normally be the case.
The Brokk can move the largest gas cylinders used in the UK. (98kg).
Video shows a training exercise.

21. BISON RCV Project :- G.H.O.S.T. 10 tons of fireworks inside
A ships steel ISO container caught fire when thieves thought it would be a good idea to cut into the back of the container using a grinder.
The resulting fire and numerous explosions lasted over 4 hours!
As seen the robots opened the door of the container and can now be seen applying water to suppress the fire.
Brigade followed this up with a high volume ground monitor once the explosions stopped.

22. Robots used as self deploying ground monitors
300 Tons of batteries on fire in a recycling
plant. Car batteries ejected by explosions!
Steel framed industrial building with metal
Roof.
40,000 ltrs of water used on day one
most became contaminated run off.
Building structure compromised and
declared unsafe.
Building over150mtrs long next to a carpet
warehouse!
All smoke from fire verified as highly toxic.
Robots entered by the loading dock in
end of building and commenced fire
fighting operations inside the structure
with zero run off, air temp over 100°C
Robots stayed inside the building for
four hours.
In all three robots deployed into building.
Incident took five days to resolve.
