I'm not sure what DSP stands for here.
It is taken from the technical specifications of a set of tender documents for an airport crashtender; the tender is for the Belgian Government.

joiner with DSP 70 inlet and a single DSP 45 outlet
It seems to be a standard name for a specific type of coupling; see, for example:
DSP COUPLINGS - LMC-Couplings

The main application of DSP couplings is fire fighting. This application causes significant impacts on the coupling during handling. DSP couplings are therefore ...
I strongly suspect the 70 and 45 are diameters in mm, but no doubt your own researches can confirm that if it should prove necessary.

: Also known as a Guillemin symmetrical clutch (says he, pretending he knows anything about the subject). More interestingly, it's an example of a "sexless coupling".

Thanks, Phil! Losing interest rapidly... can't see the point in sexless coupling ;-)

: no m/f at all - is that a 'uniport' - any port in a storm?

: Déjà en anglais dans la source, c'est plutôt le genre des raccords qui a un intérêt que le sexe, la cuisinière est souvent féminine, mais la sentinelle plus rarement

The Guillemin symmetrical clutch is widely used in France and in Belgium by firefighters to couple fire hoses. It is also commonly known under the name of DSP connector. It can be fastened by hand, but it is also possible to use a tricoise wrench. It is also "quarter turn" and "sexless" (symmetrical). Each end has a ring with two protuberances outside; when the ring turns, the protuberances lock to the hook of the other hose.
