Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Hinton, Alberta June 8, 2006
Remote Data Transfer: BC Experience
Mike Russo – BCFSMartin Torn – Selkirk Systems Inc.
Overview
Satellite Data Transfer / Communications
• Resource Tracking AFF• Resource Management• Additional Airborne Data Transfer Activities• Vehicle / Crew Based Systems
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Airborne Satellite Based Resource Tracking
• All aircraft equipped with satellite tracking device by 2008. (AFF)
• Used for resource management of contract aircraft. (BC, AB, Sask..)
• Long Term Hires permanently fitted with satellite voice and data
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Satellite AFF - How it Works
What it Provides – Aviation Resource Management
• Real time position and status of resource (flight watch)
• Historical replay Ex - patrol coverage
What it Enables - Incident / Asset Awareness
What it Enables - Incident / Asset Awareness
• Integration with other strategic and tactical fire data
• Fire Starts (Initial Phone and Fire Reports)
• Fire Risk (FWI, FBP, etc)
• Lightening Detection
• Distributed throughout operational organization
What it Enables – Inter-Agency Communication
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Airborne Satellite Data Transfer Projects
• AFF Compliant Devices are capable of two way data transfers (interface with handheld / tablet).
• Ability to send real-time fire detection report information. (ie: waypoints, .shp)
• (Goal) Send images from the aircraft
• Low cost, low bandwidth option to transfer data
Ground Based Satellite Data Transfer / Communications
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
• BCFS vehicles equipped with fixed satellite data/voice installations.
• Standalone satcom system crews can deploy into field operations.
• Equip crews with light weight satcom device for tracking and data transfer.
• PDA device for user input / display
Ground Based Satellite Data Transfer
Integrate Field Data Into Overall Situational Awareness
• Fire Centre
• Air Tanker Centre
