Mill Flat Fire 2009 Scenario
Mill Flat Fire 2009 Scenario The Mill Flat Fire started July 25, 2009 by lightning in the Pine Valley Wilderness on the Dixie National Forest. August 19, 2009, the fire continued to grow to 406 acres to the northeast with active surface fire and isolated torching, resulting in closure of the Summit Trail from Mill Flat north. On August 29, 2009, extreme fire behavior led to rapid fire movement down hill towards the town of New Harmony. By the evening of August 30, 2009 the fire had grown to 7,641 acres, all the residents of the town had been evacuated, six homes were destroyed or severely damaged and several other buildings and corrals were significantly burned.
10
Assumptions Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Certificates of Authorization (COA) are not an issue. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations transitioned from a normal general navigation situation to Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) disaster/hazard airspace. Incident Command Air Operations includes a dedicated UAS Operations Manager who: (a) is familiar with UAS capabilities; (b) can manage airspace integration issues for air traffic management with the FAA and local air controllers; (c) can represent the UAS assets during planning.

Analysis of Objectives
Objective 1: Determine how the availability of unmanned technologies may impact preparation activities such as operational response planning and organizational coordination. Strengths: Unmanned systems represent a new tool that can augment and interface the capabilities currently being used. The Interagency Wildland Fire Community is currently proactive in exploring areas for UAS integration into existing response systems, including other wildland fire management agencies. Business models for the employment of unmanned technologies in support of fire management services, such as mass broadcast text messaging (accomplished by the Israelis), already exist. Best practices from the military with regards to airspace deconfliction can be potentially applied to operational firefighting.
15
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 1: Determine how the availability of unmanned technologies may impact preparation activities such as operational response planning and organizational coordination. Areas for Improvement: There is a need to examine if COAs will be broad enough to apply to fire suppression activities and still be beneficial. The application of “emergency COAs” needs to be explored for a fire fighting situation. Determine if contract vehicles that fire departments have in place for helicopters, such as “exclusive use” or “call when needed”, can be applied towards the employment of multi-purpose unmanned aircraft (that can provide communications, delivery (supplies), other tasks that are typical to fire suppression). The unmanned systems community needs to understand how wildland fire agencies intends to integrate unmanned technologies into existing response capabilities and become actively involved in the process.
16
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 2: Identify the technical, regulatory, political, and organizational obstacles that may currently inhibit the use of unmanned systems in wildland fire fighting applications. Strengths: Technologies, such as Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), are available to provide effective Sense and Avoid (S&A) capability, which is a critical issue for the FAA in addressing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) integration. A substantial number of data sets are accessible, which can be used to build the safety case for the FAA to allow integration into the National Airspace System (NAS). The FAA is currently collecting all information/data regarding UAS operations conducted under Certificates of Authorization (COAs).
17
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 2: Identify the technical, regulatory, political, and organizational obstacles that may currently inhibit the use of unmanned systems in wildland fire fighting applications. Areas for Improvement: FAA needs to define what significant issues, such as S&A and Interoperability, mean to the agency in order for the UAS community to properly address these concerns. Public safety issues should be a “UAS in the NAS” driver not just law enforcement. The FAA needs to be provided the information and data critical to UAS integration in the areas of: Reliability (i.e. software, system predictability, performance, etc.) Demand Signal (Fire, Law Enforcement, SAR, other Public Safety) Frequency Allocation (Restricted and Dedicated) Pilot Qualifications/Certification
18
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 3: Develop insights and recommendations concerning the prospective operational utility, or shortcoming, of unmanned systems in firefighting applications and the transition to the general civil sector. Strengths: As a result of the live event at DPG, participating systems successfully demonstrated the potential to provide persistent situational awareness (SA). Many platforms are able to serve as a communications relay. The TTX discussion revealed that there is a capability to provide continuous weather coverage. Small unmanned systems are transportable and equipped for rapid deployment . Versatility is achieved through the use of multiple sensors. The participating vehicles (UAVs and UGVs) proved to be capable of moving real-time data and information. Program Maturity – ability to capitalize on the lessons learned from the DoD.
19
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 3: Develop insights and recommendations concerning the prospective operational utility, or shortcoming, of unmanned systems in firefighting applications and the transition to the general civil sector. Areas for Improvement: Unmanned systems need to be more robust, heat tolerant, smoke resistant, and expendable. Finding the balance between desired capability and weight restrictions of the system. UAS technologies should be designed and applied around the needs of the fire management managers/user community. Capabilities for further development include: Wide Area Notification (unmanned systems equipped with microphone) Fuel moisture, and vegetation structure mapping (preventative measure) Infrared heat signatures for detection and discrimination (SAR, hotspots) Persistent and continual surveillance (including night ops) In-situ weather (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction) Sensors that can be mounted for particulate monitoring Electro-magnetic detection of personal electronics (SAR)
20
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 4: Examine the business case for operating unmanned technologies as wildfire management resources and the potential for other public safety applications: Strengths: UAVs could be of assistance to the Burned Area Rehabilitation Team (BAER). Re-vegetation (aerial seeding) Fuel assessment Additional applications include: Wildlife monitoring and management Soil erosion/post-fire debris flow management Road surveys The majority of capabilities used to support the Fire Managers can also be applied to Law Enforcement and other Public Safety functions: Persistent situational awareness Communications relay Continuous weather coverage Transportable and equipped for rapid deployment Adaptable to the situation through the use of multiple sensors Capable of moving real-time data and information
21
Analysis of Objectives
Objective 4: Examine the business case for operating unmanned technologies as wildfire management resources and the potential for other public safety applications: Areas for Improvement: Regulations that govern airspace interoperability, safety and deconfliction are the most significant challenges for the unmanned systems community. The COA process needs to include considerations for the differences in the size and weight of unmanned air vehicles (i.e. Global Hawk to Dragonfly). There needs to be communication/integration between communities of interest: Training opportunities to gain better understanding of “the right tool for the right mission”. Demonstrate and provide a clear message of what the technologies can do for operations. A “crash” needs to be clearly defined and a category to accommodate for intentional “crashes” needs to be established in the COA application process. Users and developers need to be proactive in identifying a toolbox of “Options” to present to the FAA that may facilitate more efficient authorization methods.
22
Key Findings Fire Services need to define the type of information that’s required and how often. Visual (i.e. approximately Every 20 minutes). GPS data. Meteorological sensors (atmospheric monitoring including microclimate) Standardized data formats for an integrated picture. Technology drivers for all types of fires (i.e. urban, wildland, etc.). Ground conditions. Requirements for operational situational awareness via UAS to augment the use of helicopters or other aviation assets. Identify niche areas for Initial Attack (IA). GIS displays that include infrastructure. Ideally, the wildfire suppression agencies would have a liaison with the unmanned systems community during response operations. Tasked with identifying the appropriate system users, as well as, what interfaces would need to be used. Cognizant of the fire fighting mission and has a good understanding of unmanned systems technologies. Both communities will need to be represented.
23
Key Findings There is no COA that allows UAS flights over a populated area (defined as a facility that has 3 or more inhabitants). Inhibits the use of unmanned systems for evacuation. May impact support to SAR efforts. Prohibits data gathering and monitoring of urban fires. Cost comparisons to manned vehicles need to be consistent. The rates for unmanned systems need to include the cost of support personnel. The type of platform is a factor in the determination of operating costs (i.e. Maveric vs. ScanEagle). Duration of the mission should be equally applied. Location needs to be considered when ascertaining expenses. The span of operations (one-day versus several months) needs to be reflected in the overall calculation. Establish rates that are factored over the life-cycle of the vehicle. Currently, the firefighting community is constrained in employing UAS technologies in operations until unmanned systems are allowed to fly within the NAS in a real world situation, which would provide the crucial data needed to further support a safety case.
24
Recommendations In addition to a cost-benefit analysis, further investigation needs to include a risk assessment that demonstrates how risks could be minimized by using unmanned systems. Conduct a performance assessment that quantifies how many unmanned systems being used during fire situations have accidents or incidents (malfunctions, etc.), in order to shape the regulatory process. Leverage AUVSI to facilitate coordination among the relevant communities and assimilate the information needed to develop the business case for operating unmanned technologies in the NAS. Exploit the US Congress mandate* as an opportunity to drive technology requirements towards development of systems designed to the needs of the Fire Managers/Public Safety community. Demonstrate unmanned systems in an operationally realistic environment to further examine system performance and ability. *Public Law Section (2001) establishes goals for the fielding of unmanned systems such that: (1) By 2010, one-third of the aircraft in the operational deep strike force aircraft fleet are unmanned; and (2) By 2015, one-third of the operational ground combat vehicles are unmanned.
