Greetings,
Forest Service Fire and
Aviation Management (FAM) has identified the need to define requirements,
capabilities, and methodology to integrate existing and new fire imaging
technology into fire operations and decision support. Fire imaging
technology is playing an increasing role to support wildland fire management
operations and decision making. For decades the wildland fire community
has primarily relied on the Forest Service National Infrared Operations program
(NIROPS) to provide fire perimeter mapping using infrared imagery, however
additional fixed wing, rotor wing, and satellite platforms with day and night
capabilities are becoming available.
The purpose of this
questionnaire is to help determine how firefighters, fire managers, Incident
Management Teams, and Agency Administrators use fire imaging products for
tactical, strategic, or decision support, what information they need fire
imaging to provide, when do they need it, how often, what format, etc.
Your response to these
questions will assist FAM with establishing fire imaging requirements so we can
solicit Requests For Information with other governmental agencies,
universities, or private contractors. If you would like to participate in
the questionnaire please complete the form by Dec 20, 2017.
Responses will be compiled and reviewed by Forest Service WO-FAM to guide how
we proceed in the future.
Thank you for your
participation. If questions, please contact Evans Kuo at ekuo@fs.fed.us or 208-866-8548.
