Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Airborne Satellite Based Resource Tracking
• All aircraft equipped with satellite tracking device by 2008. (AFF)
• Used for resource management of contract aircraft. (BC, AB, Sask..)
• Long Term Hires permanently fitted with satellite voice and data

Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Satellite AFF - How it Works
![Page 5: Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568150f0550346895dbf09fb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What it Provides – Aviation Resource Management
• Real time position and status of resource (flight watch)
• Historical replay Ex - patrol coverage

What it Enables - Incident / Asset Awareness
![Page 7: Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568150f0550346895dbf09fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What it Enables - Incident / Asset Awareness
• Integration with other strategic and tactical fire data
• Fire Starts (Initial Phone and Fire Reports)
• Fire Risk (FWI, FBP, etc)
• Lightening Detection
• Distributed throughout operational organization

Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
Airborne Satellite Data Transfer Projects
• AFF Compliant Devices are capable of two way data transfers (interface with handheld / tablet).
• Ability to send real-time fire detection report information. (ie: waypoints, .shp)
• (Goal) Send images from the aircraft
• Low cost, low bandwidth option to transfer data

Ground Based Satellite Data Transfer / Communications
Wildfire Detection Technology Workshop
• BCFS vehicles equipped with fixed satellite data/voice installations.
• Standalone satcom system crews can deploy into field operations.
• Equip crews with light weight satcom device for tracking and data transfer.
• PDA device for user input / display
