Airborne IR+GIS, just another Window
IR + GIS: Intuitive 1st look, Subliminal 2nd time
Passive: No training, 3rd person nor interaction required
Instant situational awareness – Eyes spend more time outside
Overall improved efficiency. Continued operations over smoke & at night
Fresh details always: Fire lines - Road names - Place search - Routing, etc.
Safety: Terrain & hazards recognition. Ground teams visible through smoke with IR

GIS: Instant Situational Awareness
Initial Attack: Fire History,
Powerlines, DPA, Topo details
Project Fires (Extended Attack): Daily
Fire lines, hot spots, burn out, dozer
& hand lines, division breaks, drop
points, dip sites, etc.
3D or 2D, easy zoom if desired

“IR equipped air attack aircraft reduced the need to withdraw firefighters from the fireline”
“crews costing many thousands of dollars per day, disengagement, and the resulting loss of productivity, can represent a significant cost.”
-Large Fire Cost Review for FY2009
IR coupled with GIS has become a IR coupled with GIS has become a most powerful set of tools for the most powerful set of tools for the air attack platform, and without those air attack platform, and without those capabilities I have almost forgotten capabilities I have almost forgotten how I did it any other wayhow I did it any other way““Tom Bagwell, ATGS ORCA TeamTom Bagwell, ATGS ORCA Team
