This book was released on 1994 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the adoption of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensing technology on target identification and retardant drop evaluation tactics and forest fire suppression strategies with the Alberta air attack program. The paper discusses the four main target identification techniques now in use and how the use of a FLIR system has modified their execution, then considers the broader impact upon initial attack and support action missions and some necessary modifications to general cockpit organization indicated by the assimilation of this technology.

Download or read book An Economic Evaluation of Forward Looking Infrared FLIR Technology to Enhance Aerial Suppression of Forest Fires in Alberta written by Paul M. Woodard and published by Forestry Canada. This book was released on 1993 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggested infrared technology on aerial platforms enables fire managers to make better forest fire fighting decisions. In 1992-93, an evaluation was conducted of the costs and benefits of installing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology on bird-dog planes using cost data provided by the Government of Alberta and opinions of experienced users. As part of the study, 11 air-attack officers in Alberta with experience using FLIRs were asked to estimate the savings to be realized in retardant costs, flying costs, and area burned by employing this technology. This report provides the results of the evaluation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigation of forward looking infrared (FLIR) and low light television (LLTV) technology as a visual aid for bridge personnel during search and rescue operations. The FLIR and LLTV sensors provide video images of targets that are not always visible to the unaided human eye. The program, which focused on search and rescue operations, particularly during nighttime searches, was initiated to evaluate possible configurations of the system, select a configuration, manufacture and install the system on a Canadian Coast Guard ship, and perform trials at sea. This report describes the design and installation of the system and the sea trials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tactical air-to-ground strike operations, particularly at night, the passive FLIR systems provide vital sensory aids. Even if the targets of interest are small, the sensors must offer the resolutions needed both for target detection and target recognition. But there are somewhat basic limits to system performance as established, for example, by the intervening atmospheric path, the maximum practicable aperture of the FLIR optics and the minimum practicable size of the detectors. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of these factors on overall system performance, and then to examine how close we can now approach this 'best possible' or ideal performance. It was assumed at the outset that the sensor system was optically limited - no degradation was suffered by incapabilities of the electronics, the display, nor the observer. (Author).

Download or read book Can Science End War written by Everett Carl Dolman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free-roaming killer drones stalk the battlespace looking for organic targets. Human combatants are programmed to feel no pain. Highpower microwave beams detonate munitions, jam communications, and cook internal organs. Is this vision of future war possible, or even inevitable? In this timely new book, Everett Carl Dolman examines the relationship between science and war. Historically, science has played an important role in ending wars – think of the part played by tanks in breaching trench warfare in the First World War, or atom bombs in hastening the Japanese surrender in the Second World War – but to date this has only increased the danger and destructiveness of future conflicts. Could science ever create the con-ditions of a permanent peace, either by making wars impossible to win, or so horrific that no one would ever fight? Ultimately, Dolman argues that science cannot, on its own, end war without also ending what it means to be human.
