Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Special attention in the article is paid to the relevance of IT-technologies in the field of forest fire prevention and localisation. The author of the paper justifies the use of the forest fire countermeasures system "Sylvan" and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. He considers them as a way to monitor and record forest fires. This paper will validate the effectiveness of using drones for forest fire suppression, which can determine the type of fire, its area and direction of fire development, as well as the area of the most intense burning. Determination of information needs of the system participants should be in the system of fire safety and fire suppression, because it is essential for the operation of the system. Insufficient information, its untimeliness, as well as falsehood increases the risk of loss of life and material objects, forces to act in conditions of uncertainty, and the decisions taken may be wrong. Improvement and introduction of the latest technical means make it possible to realise different forms of fire safety provision irrespective of the features of emergency circumstances.
