Wildfires

Potential Applications of UAVs in Different Phases of wildfire response

Envisioned wildfire emergency response system empowered by UAV swarms

Bird’s eye view of envisioned wildfire emergency response system empowered by UAV swarms. Here, the UAV swarm is undertaking or supporting fire suppression operations and monitoring/tracking operations, while simultaneously gathering information to enhance the predictions of a physics-based fire propagation model.

Potential suitability of three loosely defined UAV types for different Wildfire Emergency Response tasks/missions.
