Book Description
This paper discusses the impact of the adoption of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensing technology on target identification and retardant drop evaluation tactics and forest fire suppression strategies with the Alberta air attack program. The paper discusses the four main target identification techniques now in use and how the use of a FLIR system has modified their execution, then considers the broader impact upon initial attack and support action missions and some necessary modifications to general cockpit organization indicated by the assimilation of this technology.

An Economic Evaluation of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Technology to Enhance Aerial Suppression of Forest Fires in Alberta
Author: Paul M. Woodard

Category : Aeronautics in forest fire control
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Previous research suggested infrared technology on aerial platforms enables fire managers to make better forest fire fighting decisions. In 1992-93, an evaluation was conducted of the costs and benefits of installing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology on bird-dog planes using cost data provided by the Government of Alberta and opinions of experienced users. As part of the study, 11 air-attack officers in Alberta with experience using FLIRs were asked to estimate the savings to be realized in retardant costs, flying costs, and area burned by employing this technology. This report provides the results of the evaluation.
