Using drones to help forest firefighting
2023-08-10 19:00As the main body of ecological construction, forest resources contain rich resources and play a huge role in the process of biological evolution. Every autumn and winter, due to the dry weather, the forest enters a critical period of fire prevention. However, countries all over the world spend a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources to prevent fires in Chile and Chile every year, and the damage caused by forest fires to forest resources and the ecological environment is immeasurable.
In order to solve the pain point of forest fires consuming a lot of cost, local governments have made full use of modern technology and adopted fixed-wing hybrid drones for forest fire prevention inspections, so as to improve fire monitoring and increases fire prevention inspection efficiency and early warning ability, early detection, early forecast, and early extinguishment of fires.
1. The current state of forest fire prevention:
①In recent years, the awareness of environmental protection in various countries in the world has increased, and the coverage of forests on the land has also increased. The probability is also higher.
②Because the current forest patrol mainly adopts the way of forest rangers on foot to patrol mountains and watchtower inspections, affected by terrain restrictions, it is impossible to completely control the fire situation in a large area, the accuracy rate is low and the error is greatly increased, and manual inspection is time-consuming It is laborious and the work is very heavy, and there are not a few human and material resources for the trumpet.
③Restricted by the terrain, in the event of a fire, sprinklers cannot directly drive to the disaster site for rescue. It is very difficult to fight fires, and the early warning mechanisms for firefighting in various countries have not yet been perfected, and the capabilities in all aspects need to be further improved.
2. The advantages of using vertical takeoff drones to carry out forest firefighting work:
①Using the vtol hybrid drone to carry out fire inspection work can use the unique high-altitude perspective of the drone to transmit high-definition images in real time, so that inspectors can grasp various information and dynamics in the forest, discover fires in time, and improve the inspection rate.
②Vtol uav drone can carry some payload equipment, such as water tank or put foam first, etc., which can rescue the fire in time.
③ Timely inspection of the fire area is impossible for forest rangers and vehicle inspections.
When a fire breaks out, the vertical takeoff drone can obtain the location of the fire and the spread of the fire through thermal sensing technology, and communicate the fire situation and information in a timely manner, providing information support for disaster situation at the first time, and forest firefighting. With the advancement of technology, VTOL hybrid drones will also play an important role in fire rescue and has broad prospects in the future fire rescue market.
