Automated twenty-four-hour IR TV remote system for landscape fires detection and ecological monitoring
Purpose For twenty-four-hour remote fire monitoring of the territories including massifs.
Provides automation of inflammations control and location and, correspondingly, taking measures at the
early stage of inflammations, minimization of fire loses.
The system includes meteorological, radiation and other sensors to carry out ecological monitoring of
territories
Provides automation of inflammations control and location and, correspondingly, taking measures at the

The system includes meteorological, radiation and other sensors to carry out ecological monitoring of
territories
The system provides the following ways of fireplaces detection
IR- channel:
• open or partial screened combustion areas detection
• detection of screened combustion areas by heat upward flows over the fire placeо
• obtaining of heat fields maps within different periods of time to make prognosis
TV- channel:
- fire detection by smoky phase of combustion
- visual analysis of the directions of interest
Fire monitoring automated system includes:
- IR-TV- automated modules of detection installed on 30-40 meter fire towers (the distance between the towers makes 10-15 km.)
- Digital information receiving- transmitting wireless net when transmitting information by radio channel or using GSM communication devices
- receiving- transmitting and data processing central station – PCS
IR-TV system is designed in corporation with microprocessor and computer equipment. It is administrated by corresponding programs in automatic mode. Prognosis is
carried out at receiving transmitting and data processing central station – PCS. It displays on-line information from meteorological and ecological sensors. It makes a decision on giving
alarm signaling.
IR-TV system operates in cyclic or continuous mode (program assigned with PCS).

“Alenia, Italy with much worse characteristics
Patterns of cooperation
By-request production
Protection
There is no point in patenting since the elemental base production branch is developing very fast
