Published purpose
The project is to enable fire management offices (FMOs) more situational awareness when fighting multi-hectare forest fires. Today's FMOs cobble together information from many sources arriving at various times, review with meteorologists and fire behaviour experts and make resourcing and fire-fighting decisions hours after the data arrives instead of seconds. Situational awareness is about getting the right data, in real-time, with smart alerts and intelligent dashboards that alert and recommend next steps. FTS will collect many different data sources and data and display to the FMO in an easy to understand way.
