Synopsis
This book brings to light a crucial area of firefighting and military defense: the detection and containment of wildfires using airborne infrared (IR) line scanners. The text begins by discussing the increased potential for wartime destruction by fire, and the need to control wildfires in both rural and urban scenarios. The author outlines the history and various stages of Project Fire Scan, which sought to develop and test a heat-sensing system to locate fires, map perimeters, and measure rates of fire spread. The details of the prototype system's development are included, along with the results of field tests and operational considerations for mapping rural fires and wildfires in suburban areas. The book concludes by discussing the significance of these findings for improving wildfire detection and containment methods, ultimately aiding in the protection of life, property, and natural resources.
