Remote environmental sensor system for wildfire detection and response

AbstractBased on an operational prototype system (Intelipodâ„¢) developed internally by Venti LLCthis SBIR effort will deliver a quantum improvement in fire fighter safety. This project willrepresent a major advance in the tools available to first responders/fire fighters to access andsafely respond to unknown emergencies to save lives and property.There is a shortfall in technical capability to assess an emergency scenario with a real timedeployable array of multifunction sensors does not currently exist for responding firstresponders. Such a system jump starts the decision-making process in real time and will resultin major changes to current tactics/techniques/procedures (TTPs) for Wildfireresponse/management.There is no one system/product available that can simultaneously look at a broad spectrum ofenvironmental hazards/factors and produce a comprehensive picture to the situation to the forresponder. This project will design a communication architecture for the widespreaddeployment Intelipod and integrate them into an actionable tablet based common operatingpicture. This critical information will be based in the Cloud and accessible throughout the firstresponder chain of command. Venti's proposal offers a fresh look at the Wildfire responsecapability and survivability by providing critical timely actionable information for allresponding units.233 Middle St Suite 105 New Bern NC28560
