Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAV) - Forest Fire Detection and Control
The UAV's ability to fly into dangerous situations makes it the perfect candidate
for the detection and suppression of forest fires. UAVs can be used to detect
areas of high-risk for forest fires, to detect existing forest fires, and to
suppress those fires without endangering a human pilot. By incorporating a
digital representation of the earth, the UAV can be used for extraordinarily
dangerous missions including narrow canyons, turbulent weather, and night flight.
