1 Satellite Support to Forest Fires Airborne Patrol Lukáš Brodský, Jana Slačíková, Luboš Kučera (Gisat) Jiří Vízdal, Jiří Čáp (Sprinx Systems) 4th ARTES Applications Workshop April 2014, Luxembourg

2 SAFETREE Content SAFETREE Feasibility study Introduction - Airborne Fire-fighting Service (AFS) Project motivation User Needs Technical Overview Fire danger and fire risk monitoring SAFETREE Service Concept EO space assets Market Perspective & Socio-Economic Benefits Next Steps 1

3 SAFETREE Introduction Airborne Fire-fighting Service (AFS): airborne patrol early detection of forest fire airborne fire verification and airborne fire fighting fire fighting Satellite Support to Forest Fires Airborne Patrol (SAFETREE) GISAT s.r.o. SPRINX Systems, a.s. 2

4 SAFETREE Project Motivation Forest owners (> 50 ha) - timely information on forest fire Ministry of Agriculture of the CR (MoA) FORESTS of the CR (FCR) AFS 51 % forests Fire Rescue Service (FRS) Airborne operators 3

5 SAFETREE User Needs Airborne patrol dispatch and routing objective and up-to-date information on vegetation conditions >>> hot spots evaluation of forest fire danger / risk Document management storage and tracking of electronic documents 4

6 SAFETREE Fire danger & risk Fire environment surrounding conditions, influences, and modifying forces of topography, fuel, and weather that determine fire behavior, fire effects and impact Fire danger assessment of factors of the fire environment that determine the ease of ignition, rate of spread, difficulty of control, and impact Fuel (type, distribution, moisture content) Weather Topography Fire risk probability of a wildfire occurring and its potential impact on a particular location at a particular time Fire danger + Socio-economic and ecologic vulnerability * European Glossary for wildfires and forest fires (EUROFINET, 2012) 5

7 SAFETREE SAFETREE Service Identification of areas and conditions prone to fire ignition updated fuel-type map (static) <<< EO (HR) fuel moisture content monitoring (dynamic map) <<< EO (MR) daily meteorological monitoring <<< CHMI additional data fire danger / risk assessment >>> Hot spots >>> Sat. Navigation 6

8 SAFETREE Service concept Identified concept of sustainable monitoring system >>> Satellite earth observation spatial resolution and revisit time free type of imagery Sentinel-2 & -3 Terra MODIS LDCM Document Management Satellite navigation used by the airborne patrols for survey routing 7

9 SAFETREE EO space assets Earth Observation the only feasible solution for operational monitoring of vegetation conditions over large areas updated forests and grasslands ecosystems map objective and up-to-date information for the operational monitoring of forest fire danger / risk airborne patrol dispatch and survey routing 8

10 SAFETREE Benefits Market Perspective identification of hot-spots based on vegetation conditions monitoring >>> optimization of airborne patrol dispatch and routing >>> costs savings for MoA (flight hours / aircraft fuel) Socio-Economic Benefits increase the efficiency of the fire detection >>> timely detection of forest fire timely fire fighting response >>> ecological and economical savings 9

11 SAFETREE Next Steps Feasibility study assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the improved forest fire monitoring service User and stakeholder analysis and consolidated user requirements State of the art analysis Service and System definition Proof-of-concept Viability analysis Demonstration project 10
