    Abstract

    The ANU-Optus Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence is developing a novel, integrated, hi-tech solution to detect bushfires early with an approach that combines different remote sensing platforms including satellites, long endurance uncrewed vehicles (drones), cameras on fire towers and ground sensors in the Australian Capital Territory. The different methods and technologies are evaluated using planned, unplanned and experimental ignitions to determine under which scenarios each technology is most effective and the extent to which they outperform or complement current practices.
