2 HUNGARY Location: at the centre of Europe Lies in the Carpathian Basin Joining to European Union on 1 May 2004. Statistic: - 93 thousand km2 - 712 thousand hectares forests - 18.5 % of the country’s territory - 40 % private ownership

10 ANALYSING THE PROCESSE FIGHTING FOREST FIRE LOST TIME T LOST = R 2 Π -Δt saved 9.9. ON THE SCENE

11 GATHERING THE POBLEMS OF RECONNAISSANCE The fire may cover such a large area that reconnaissance requires touring around the entire affected area. Commander of fire-fighting operations is too close to the fire. He can not see the forest for the trees!

12 THE THEORETICAL SOLUTIONS PERSPECTIVE IMAGES RECONNAISSANCE BY UAV-RRA

13 REQUESTS Immediate deployment Image information Autonomy flying Take off vertically Flying around a circle of 1 km radius Flying about 10-15 minutes Rapid Simple Objective

14 STATUS II. Evidence of economical efficiency - comparison analysis - affected area analysis - economical analysis Answer:UAV The Utility of Robot Reconnaissance Aircraft 10th UAVNET Meeting 6 - 7. May 2004, London

28 3- STEP PROGRAM FIRST STEP Aim: to create a UAV which is as cheap as possible, with limited capabilities, but in a useable form, so that fire fighters have a chance to use UAV without any fear of crashing or losing it. Plane/equipment: the material of UAV is not easy to broken (wing from latex or plastic) but easy to replace. The UAV carries a cheap camera, visible only. Ground control only. Flight capacity: 15 minutes flight time, within a circle of, 1 km radius and 500 m altitude. Advantage: no fear from using UAV. Fire fighters get lots of experience in a real fire situation (fire) and within a short time. Disadvantage: limited capabilities, providing moderate quality information. Ground control only. At least 2 users. Time: I plan to fly it in the second part of March or the first part of April 2006. (Because of the dry grass this period is the first fire season of Hungary.) Costs: 1 – 2.000 Euros/UAV, Szendro Fire Department to finance it.

29 3- STEP PROGRAM SECOND STEP Aim: to create a UAV with autonomous flying ability specialized for supporting fighting against forest fire. Plane/equipment: Carried by jeep, measuring 40x40x150 cm. Have to stick or turn the wings to carry it easily (40x40x150 cm). Able to turn, good quality visible/thermal camera with zoom. Autonomous flights, limited ground control. Able to start within 2 minutes. Flight capacity: 30 minutes flight time, within a circle of 3 - 5 km radius and 800 – 1000 m altitude. Advantage: full intervention support. Providing high quality information. User friendly. Disadvantage: first UAV is expensive. Time: it depends on money and developer but I hope it will fly before the end of 2006. Costs: 10 – 20.000 Euros, we apply for money from R&D Found.

30 3- STEP PROGRAM THIRD STEP Aim: to create a mobile and integrated UAV base. It can be used in any type of intervention (not only forest fire). Plane/equipment: about 5 – 7 planes. 2 Zeppelins (1 little and 1 bigger one), (1 Helicopter?), 1 little UAV (as the 1. step), 1 moderate UAV (as the 2. step) and 1 high capacity UAV (have to develop it). Compact system to be carried it in a little truck. Advantage: ability to support any intervention from little accidents to disaster management, not only fighting against forest fire (e.g. at chemical accidents attached a special sensors, floods, Before - Fire Patrol, After - Fire Damage Estimation). Disadvantage: expensive. Several hours needed to start the planes. Use it only at long time intervention. Extensive background support needed. Time: development 2006 – 2008. Costs: 100 – 200.000 Euros. Need to apply for R&D Found to get money next year. We applied for money earlier but it was not successfully.
