IR+GIS enables aerial fire teams to work more effectively. Includes actual flight over wildfire in Yosemite National Park in 2009. Shows the use of multi-layer moving map GIS in the cockpit that is coupled with passive Infrared. Enables Air Attacks to fly more effectively over smoke and dark. Operational instructions at www.AerialFireTech.org. I want to help other countries of the world get this capability - contact me.

1. Air Attack IR+GIS Better than Easy 1 Interactive Moving-map GIS 2 IR & sensors turn on with plane 3 Intelligence to the ground By: Mark Zaller www.AerialFireTech.org

2. Paper fire maps Difficulties on Project Fires Fire Camp Incident Command Dispatch Headquarters Tanker Base Heli-base FM Voice No Data Air Attack Doesn’t do mapping Doesn’t always get paper maps Often can’t see ground due to smoke Smoke

3. Air Attack Transmit Spot Fire drawings IR+ GIS Moving-Map Instant Situational Awareness Low cost Changes Fire Camp Incident Command Dispatch Headquarters Tanker Base Heli-base Continuous operations over Smoke & Dark Improves Safety Offline Moving-Map with GIS FM Voice Satellite Data

10. “ IR equipped air attack aircraft reduced the need to withdraw firefighters from the fireline” “ crews costing many thousands of dollars per day, disengagement, and the resulting loss of productivity, can represent a significant cost.” -Large Fire Cost Review for FY2009 IR coupled with GIS has become a most powerful set of tools for the air attack platform, and without those capabilities I have almost forgotten how I did it any other way “ Tom Bagwell, ATGS ORCA Team
