Remote sensing system may replace forest watchtowers in West
U.S. Forest Service researchers report a new bispectral forest fire detection system tested last summer over 8,000 square miles in Montana and Idaho. An aircraft with Doppler radar infrared sensors and a film processor maps surveyed areas and relays data to ground stations. It detected 44 fires before smoke or flames appeared, outperforming traditional lookout towers and patrol planes and saving about $500,000 in operating costs.
