Remote sensing system touted to replace lookout towers
U S Forest Service researchers report a bispectral forest fire detection system tested over Montana and Idaho in daily flights last summer. An airplane carries Doppler radar infrared sensors and a film processor to map surveyed areas and radio the data to ground crews. The system detected 44 wildfires before smoke or flames appeared, operated at up to 15 000 feet, and costs about 500000 less to run than traditional lookout and plane methods.
