The Firedrill was on of several technologies on display with an explicit emphasis on saving lives. The name is slightly misleading--it's a fire-extinguishing drill, which first drills into a room, vehicle, or ship that has an interior fire and then through holes behind the drillbit floods the room with one of four different fire suppressants.
This is an old technology, but it's still cool--here's an article from 1993 about a fire in an early experimental F-22 that a firedrill put out.
