Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) has developed an autonomous fire suppression system that can detect and extinguish oil fires aboard naval vessels even under rough sea conditions. The system targets only the fire source. 

AI-based detection and reinforcement learning help it adapt to ship movement and sea conditions to ensure accurate discharge. The technology includes sensors, fire monitors, and a control unit with AI-based fire estimation capabilities. It achieved a detection accuracy rate of over 98 per cent and can discharge foam up to 24 metres.
