About us
Diehl Aviation boasts many years of experience and the utmost expertise in the field of fire protection - not only in aviation: in the rail sector, too, the company has also been offering comprehensive fire protection concepts for more than 20 years, from development and production through to after-sales market.
Diehl Aviation is presenting its most up-to-date fire protection solutions, again, at the Middle East Rail 2024 in Abu Dhabi. As one of the leading aviation suppliers, Diehl Aviation has for two decades now also been developing integrated fire protection solutions for the rail sector, in order to ensure a rapid and automatic detection of fires as well as safe firefighting.
Here, the company profits from its expertise and the synergies from aviation: fire detection in aircraft requires the highest possible levels of reliability and a high degree of robustness with regard to false alarms, which characteristics are also very advantageous for the systems in the rail sector.

Products & Services
The same level of fully automatic fire detection, which is obligatory in aviation long since, has become a requirement in recent years for trains.
Hence Diehl Aviation has transferred its smoke detection expertise as well into the new product line of Ground Transport Smoke Detectors.In addition to the key train operating companies such as Deutsche Bahn AG our most important customers are key manufacturers such as Siemens, Bombardier Transportation, Alstom, Stadler, etc.
Diehl Aviation’s product line of smoke detectors could either operate autonomously or could be combined into a complete smoke detection and fire suppression system – a so-called Fire Protection Control System. The core is a fire detection system that controls via CAN-bus line up to 32 individual smoke detectors.
In case of an alarm the train would be supplied with an alarm signal and with information about the fire location. In addition, external fire suppression equipment could be directly triggered by the Diehl Aviation system.
